It’s easy to search for what’s happening on Twitter but what’s the mood out there?
How is the Twitterrati feeling about the news, celebrities, issues and trends? A simple tool to get a lay of the land is Twitter Sentiment, which lets users enter a keyword to see if the sentiment is negative or positive.
Here’s the sentiment, for example, for golfer Tiger Woods, who recently apologized for his multiple affairs.
Twitter Sentiment also displays related tweets, including the ability to search for tweets during a certain period of time.
Bottom line: If you want to get a quick idea of sentiment, Twitter Sentiment does a solid, if basic, job. In an ideal world, this kind of functionality would be built into publishing tools such as Tweetdeck and Seesmic.
