Twitip

We received an email from Dan Zarrella, regarding the launch of his new site called TweetPsych (beta). You can read Dan’s blog post about the launch, or check out TweetPsych yourself.

From the site:

“TweetPsych uses two linguistic analysis algorithms (RID and LIWC) to build a psychological profile of a person based on the content of their tweets. The service analyzes your last 1000 tweets and works best on users who have posted more than 1000 updates. It also works best on accounts that are operated by a single user and use Twitter in a conversational manner, rather than simply a content distribution platform.”

This does sound very interesting, and you can see Darren’s results below:

Cognitive Content

1. Occupation & work
2. Senses
3. Present tense
4. Time
5. Upward motion
6. Media, entertainment & celebrities
7. Social processes
8. Past tense
9. Insight
10. Cognitive processes
11. Future tense
12. Tentative

Primordial, Conceptual and Emotional Content

1. Constructive behaviors
2. Social behavior
3. Abstract thought
4. Order

And for giggles, here are my results:

Looks like Darren’s pretty much all on the same alignment with his tweets, and I’m kind of all over the place! What do you think about your TweetPsych analysis?
