TweetPsych, an app that uses two linguistic analysis algorithms to compare a person’s last 1,000 tweets against the ones in its database, now looks at lists
The project uses the Regres sive Imagery Dic tio nary, which measures primordial versus conceptual thinking, and the Lin guis tic Inquiry and Word Count, which looks for positive and negative emotions and references to topics like work, religion and eating. TweetPsych takes both of those approaches and can tell if your list tweets about “sex” more than the average one, for example.
Some food for thought: if there are fun, little free apps that do this already on the web, expect many more to crop up that do it for commercial purposes. Facebook, for one, already studies your stream data and status updates to help match advertisements.
