TweetFeel: What’s the Twitter feeling?

Friday, July 10th, 2009

We’ve been dying to share with you our great new app called tweetfeel. This new application scours Twitter for Tweets about brands of your choice and shows you how positively or negatively Twitter users feel about it. Whether it’s Dell or Poptarts or Madonna, we’ll show you a sample of recent tweets as well as an overall rating for the brand. It’s a quick way to get a feel for what people are thinking!

tweetfeel uses an algorithm that is more complicated than simply counting happy faces and sad faces. Because only a small sample of people use emoticons , apps doing it that way miss out on the majority of people who talk about brands using words. This means that tweetfeel produces results that are more accurate than other applications doing a similar thing

At the time of this post, Twitter tweets were 63% positive, Dell tweets were 53% negative, and Poptart tweets were 92% positive. Try out your favorite brands to see how they rank!

Follow tweetfeeldotcom on Twitter and we’ll share some results with you every day.
