I have had the pleasure of working with AlchemyAPI and it is for real. I found it to be excellent at entity and sentiment extraction. For many applications if you are looking for certain things (like brands) - you can have it leverage your own dictionary as one of the sources. Truly brilliant and for real. It's great to see those guys getting some due finally.
