Hey Jaremy — we have developed our own social tagging system which does sentiment (and a lot more.) If you look at the “negative” results that socialmention and Twitter Sentiment flagged, you’ll see why we felt the need to go our own route. Most systems can detect an overall negative tone, but are challenged at figuring out what that tone is directed AT.

Steve,

Nice post! Thanks for the analysis and spreading the word about the Social Media Breakfast. As you can tell from the sentiment, the topic really resonated with our audience. We’ll have to get you speaking at a future event.

Thanks,

Thanks for the follow-up on Adam’s post, Steve. Out of curiosity, what tools did you use for this analysis? I’m curious as to what the best tools are for sentiment analysis, specifically – the free tools I’ve used on my own are SocialMention (http://socialmention.com/search?q=%23smbseattle&t=microblogs) and Twitter Sentiment (http://twittersentiment.appspot.com/search?query=%23smbseattle) and I saw different results from you. I’m just curious as to what tools you use personally.
