Twitter – Sentimental Satisfaction
Twitter has tempting search API and access to millions of human “thoughts”. What kind of helpful, really meaningful information could be extracted from them? I don’t believe there is any…Isn’t it just a huge recycle bin? Any ideas?
You’d say : “Sentiments!”. Ok, you are not the first with this idea, let’s see… Here are two projects that utilize twitter trying to find positive or negative feedback related to brand, product or concept, I believe we will see more soon.

These guys still don’t want to send me invitation and give me a chance to test new service, but you can find some screen shots on their site: http://www.tweetsatisfaction.com

Today i’ve read following in a post about Rubymine IDE:
RubyMine isn’t a native OS X app from what I can tell (you can reskin it from the preferences pane!) and dialog and UI behavior is not really up to OS X standard in much of the app. Despite reservations about using it myself, though, other users on Twitter are raving about how good it is so it’s certainly worth a try. It’s certainly improved enough that I’m going to give it a proper try this time.
It seems that even simple link as – http://search.twitter.com/search?q=rubymine can give enough understanding how good or bad product is.
Hmm, yes, RubyMine is a good example. But how could we generalize it?
Probably we can extract some interesting facts related to programming technologies from twitter since…It’s unlikely that “young drunk dark-haired emo-boy” is going to write anything about it. It’s more probable that professional or techno-freak would share his thoughts with others. Hmm…what else?
