A good blog! In other news, you've now told me how I tweet, and you've given me some numbers, and you haven't told me what they mean. Now that you know how I tweet, maybe you can explain it to me, so, that we'll both know. Would also like more than five users that I'm similar toa

Thanks for this post! Then you might have something that's compelling to people, and actually gives valid feedback, too. It'd be a shame if this became solely a marketing tool, or a "personality" test on a par with the ones you get in women's magazines, when there's potential there.

This is a great tool for marketing! Makes using twitter for advertisement a lot more useful.

This is such an absolutely genius concept, and with further exploration and development I am Sure it will prove itself to be quite useful and even possibly revolutionary. I'll be sure to get the word out in whatever capacities I may and to follow you for any updates. Fantastic work

That's fascinating right there! I didn't know anyone was working with NLP these days at all. NLP and Twitter... what a mind-blowing concept!

How exciting. Couldn't wait until someone did this. Thank you, Dan : )

Great stuff, do you have any plans to publish an API ? I would love to use your analysis as part of a project I'm working on at the moment.

Does tweetpsych works for portuguese-speakers too?

Do you think you can predict my next tweet? That would be a great application... :)

Just came across this! Very good idea, great feat of engineering! Personally, I'd prefer if it wasn't promoted as being psychological, as people might get the idea that this has to do with academic psychology, which it isn't. I put further thoughts here:

It would be really cool if you could run some studies, testing your content against established psychological measures. Then you might have something that's compelling to people, and actually gives valid feedback, too. It'd be a shame if this became solely a marketing tool, or a "personality" test on a par with the ones you get in women's magazines, when there's potential there.

But either way, you've made something pretty special there, well done.

Very cool, Dan, but it would help immensely to know what those scores relate to. I got a 150 on abstract thought, but a 9 on methphor. Does that mean I totally suck on metaphor, despite being a metaphor junkie, and the comment that "Many of your Tweets contain metaphors"? Lots of fun, though, thanks!

Interesting, but no frame of reference where the numbers are concerned for us non-educated tweeters.

Hi Dan, I love this work you're doing. My partner and I set up a social networking site in 2003 called www.folklikeme.com which only ever had around 8000 members and we couldn't find the way to grow outwards and keep finding relevant folk to match up with others. I think Twitpsych would have helped enormously. I want to have another shot at FLM later this year, so would be really interested in where you're at with this, then.

Word. I was fascinated when I got an @reply that someone had analyzed me, but this thread is weirding me out. The fact that I didn't initiate my "analysis" makes it even sketchier. I wouldn't take it much more seriously than a mood ring, except that everyone else is.

"Imagine if you could run advertising on via social tools knowing that certain people will interact before they do." Funny, usually when I hear people say stuff like this, it's in fear, despair, or jest. The fact that it excites you seems creepy.

Hi Dan - Congratulations. This is a very neat application and very innovative. You should commercialise this and sell it to recruiters and HR departments. I've blogged about it here: http://bit.ly/1jCZIU

You should visualize the results.

I think a machine can´t crawl a human mind, but humans can crawl the internet for friends all over the world.

Interesting. But speaking from Ann Arbor, I can say that DARPA is missing the boat (sub?) on this. With a charismatic (and shrewdly sociopathic) leader, this could be the seed of a new religion. Twientology, perhaps. ;-)

It's already being done by DARPA... and to a MUCH better degree.

Great idea! Does it work in spanish?

Yes the results are not very clear and it would be useful to have a graphic image to show where one falls on the three core types scale.

Also it makes sense to recommend people that you would be sympathetic to or attracted to - not those who are just like you.
