Here, you can enter a search term and get results back broken out in positive, negative or neutral tweets according to that topic. It works through a list of keywords, deemed positive or negative. The tweets are scanned for those keywords then placed in the appropriate category. Below you will see some results from a search for popular musicians Kings of Leon: ![](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/twitrratrscore-3-1-1-1.jpg?width=526&height=69&name=twitrratrscore-3-1-1-1.jpg) A positive tweet: ![](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/kolgood-3-1-1-1.jpg?width=271&height=61&name=kolgood-3-1-1-1.jpg) You can see where the words "love" and "the best" have been pulled to determine the positive rating, and it's accurate. A neutral tweet: ![](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/kolneutral-3-1-1-1.jpg?width=271&height=61&name=kolneutral-3-1-1-1.jpg) Here, no words have been targeted. The subject matter is accurate, but there's no positive or negative association. A negative tweet: ![](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/kolbad-3-1-1-1.jpg?width=270&height=61&name=kolbad-3-1-1-1.jpg) This is where Twitrratr has a fundamental flaw. You can see the negative word "wrong" but after reading the tweet it's clear that this is a positive emotion towards the subject. While there were actual negative tweets listed here too, there were several with this kind of negative/positive association. Also, Twitrratr has a tendency to pull partial words. For example, the word "will" is segmented to pull "ill" out and use that as a negative association. So, while there are some flaws, it's not a bad tool to get a general feeling over a particular topic - music, movies and restaurants come to mind. For the Web professional this can be a great way to get an impression of how your brand is faring in the Twitter-sphere, what's being said about your brand or even your competition. It can also serve as a way to find fellow Twitterers associated with a particular industry or brand. ![Michael Phillips](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Michael%20Phillips.jpeg) [Michael Phillips](https://www.websitemagazine.com/seo/author/michael-phillips) Masson specializes in helping brands articulate their purpose and communicate their value—through naming, campaigns, pitch decks, copy, video, and multi-platform, targeted content series. - - - - [mailto:michael.phillips@websitemagazine.com](mailto:michael.phillips@websitemagazine.com) #### Popular Post ### [Core Principles of SEO ![Core Principles of SEO](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/seo-map_200x200-Jan-23-2023-12-19-44-5053-AM-1-1-1.gif)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/seo/core-principles-of-seo) ### [Is Microsoft's New Chat GPT Enabled Bing the Google Killer? ![Is Microsoft's New Chat GPT Enabled Bing the Google Killer?](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/pexels-photo-8294625-1.jpg)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/seo/is-microsofts-new-chat-gpt-enabled-bing-the-google-killer) ### [SEO vs SEM: Choosing a Sustainable Path to Long Term Success ![SEO vs SEM: Choosing a Sustainable Path to Long Term Success](https://www.websitemagazine.com/hubfs/black-and-white-people-bar-men.jpg)](https://www.websitemagazine.com/seo/seo-vs-sem) #### Subscribe to Our Newsletter!
