Explore the Sentiment of Tweets

The Sentiment online app, allows you to view tweets containing the search phrase you enter in the text box after pressing submit. You can choose to display 100, 200 or 500 tweets. The downloaded tweets are classified according to their sentiment and are grouped as being either Positive, Negative, or Neutral. Duplicates have been removed along with possible spam.

During the initial classification phase, the sentiment of each tweet is estimated by looking for the presence of words with known sentiment within each tweet. A score is then generated which allows a tweet to be classified as either Positive, Negative, or Neutral. A list of all the words in each tweet is also made.
