Pretty neat, though it looks like the sentiment analysis could use some work. There are quite a lot of negative ones on the positive side.<p>EDIT: Might be useful to expand this into a generic service where people can enter their own search terms.

If you're not happy about the results, here's a way to restore your faith in humanity: <a href="http://www.quora.com/Cancer/Can-I-use-the-internet-to-save-my-mom-who-suffers-from-Stage-IV-cancer/answer/Jae-Won-Joh" rel="nofollow">http://www.quora.com/Cancer/Can-I-use-the-internet-to-save-m...</a>

If they include the common misspelling of "lose" as "loose" I suspect the good side won't have a chance.

This is a good start for sure, but as the previous readers mentioned it could use some work. Might consider looking for a series of keywords and adding removing positivity points based on their existance?

I can't help but lose a little faith in humanity when I see that faith in humanity is measured via Twitter.

I was toying around with the URL in some of the source and modified a few of the sources to be facebook rather than faithinhumanity. After a few tries, I got an interesting security message.<p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=343797409063510&#38;response_type=token%2Csigned_request%2Ccode&#38;display=none&#38;domain=facebook.com&#38;origin=1&#38;redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fstatic.ak.facebook.com%2Fconnect%2Fxd_arbiter.php%3Fversion%3D19%23cb%3Df111667c13151b2%26origin%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Ffacebook.com%252Ff2b34222fd3121c%26domain%3Dthefaithinhumanity.com%26relation%3Dparent&#38;sdk=joey" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=343797409063...</a>

Cool little weekend hack. Love the UI. It's a refreshing take on sentiment analysis.

Twitter is not the world or a meaningful representation of the world.

Some are misclassified, such as "before I lose faith", or "else I will lost faith"

Imagine, people like to complain via hyperbole with twitter. #notsurprised

/me watched the "positive" side retweet a bunch of "every time i regain faith in humanity, someone spends more than 5 min in front of the ATM".

What was it I'm supposed to believe about humanity?
