Title: Bitcoin sentiment and news website - cryptocompass.com
Post by: cryptocompass on December 29, 2013, 10:21:49 AM
Hi everyone,

I've just launched a new website at http://www.cryptocompass.com that highlights latest Bitcoin news from Twitter and attempts to show how people are feeling about Bitcoin in real time.

Each tweet in each of the sections is graded based on positive and negative words which are then added together creating an overall sentiment. It's not perfect (working on it) but gets it right most of the time.

Would be good to have your opinions, suggestions and constructive criticisms :)

Thanks

Tom

Looks good so far. Love the idea! I was thinking of doing something vaguely similar, categorising news into positive and negative: goodbitbadbit.com  :D

Thanks, yeah - got lots planned! Splitting news into bad and good sounds like a good idea :)

I like it.  Great summary of all the major sites and fairly neatly organized into sections to see where its sourced from.

Keep up the good work!

The site is great! Thank you for sharing
Are the green and red words used by the algorithm to estimate if it's a good or bad feed?
