Tweetfeel.com Real-time Twitter Sentiment Search with added Feeling

Tweetfeel is a real-time Twitter search tool that allows you to see the sentiment and feeling around a specific keyword or search phrase. It’s a clever little tool that gives you fast insights into overall how negative or positive the sentiment is around your keyword or search phrase. I will admit, I’ve had a lot of fun with this tool by typing my most loved and most hated brands into Tweetfeel.

In Twitter’s advanced section of their search you can search for Tweets with a positive or negative attitude, however Tweetfeel allows you to delve in quickly to the data and build up an overall picture by the perctengage of negative or positive tweets.

(Twitter’s Advance search lets you search by Positive or Negative attitudes)

Think of a company you deal with that isn’t perhaps providing you good custom service? Check them out on Tweetfeel and see what others think. Thinking about choosing a companies product or service? Well, before you do….Check them out on Tweetfeel. In the search results there sometimes is some quite heated comments from fellow Tweeters, but then that is there feeling or opinion about that brand.

I find Tweetfeel very useful for gathering a opinion around a brand’s feeling on Twitter, it gives you the data quickly so you can build up a fairly accurate overview. It works by analysing the sentiment and opinions that are included in the Tweets, keywords are highlighted in green for a positive sentiment and red for a negative one.

Here’s one I did earlier….What do the Tweeple think of Nick Clegg?

Everyone’s favorite politician Mr. Nick Clegg. Well according to Tweetfeel, the sentiment around Nick Clegg on Twitter is very positive overall, he should be pleased with himself. By the way, I voted for David Cameron if anyone’s asking.

Twitter on the acquisition trail and here’s why!

So there we all were scratching our heads wondering how Twitter actually made a profit? And then it decided to change its strategy by scouting the world for talent to hire for its new business team to help secure much needed revenue. Well, the announcement was made today that it has acquired Tweetie but I am not surprised at all and I am expecting a few more acquisitions yet.

Only last month we were told that an advertising platform was imminent and that is not the only area Twitter has been looking at. Over the last few months I have been liaising with Twitter’s team directly on a number of things and through my liaison I have seen several traditional Twitter third-party applications either be shutdown or kindly asked to have their USP’s removed. 

In January, Twitter changed its automation rules on its Wiki for developers using the API. Now don’t get too confused I am not just talking about autobots that follow people mindlessly. Twitter now classes automation as any bulk following or unfollowing tools – many of which most normal Twitter users actual use to trim their accounts. So Twitter management applications like Twitter Karma, Refollow and several others have had to change their services accordingly so they could continue operating and offering us a service. Twitter Karma without bulk unfollow – seems a tad pointless to me although I did like its service before.

I expect Twitter to launch an all singing, all dancing application in 2010 that has a number of automated services that only Twitter is allowed to provide. This is where it will make it’s extra much needed revenue from. What will this do to the Twitter eco-system that we all love though? Twitter has grown extensively due to the popularity of it’s third-party applications. Will a huge home grown application ruin what’s great about it or will it give control of the Twitter game back to the guys that actually invented it? Time will tell.
