Last week, Chris Scott, a friend and an excellent Drupal and Ruby on Rails developer, (http://www.extonrails.com/) sent me this link. I have been constantly using it ever since.

Summize Labs has come up with a real-time twitter sentiment mapper and overall evaluator. http://labs.summize.com/sentiment. It is pretty simple: you type in a word or a person, and it searches all the tweets and evaluates the positive or negative strength of words associated to the search terms you entered - and then produces a color coded graph and overall sentiment measure!

Hours of fun, but this also opens a new door: Twitter text mining…
