Although this figure may come as no surprise to most but almost 9 out of 10 tweets concerning our incumbent Taoiseach Brian Cowen are negative in nature according to TweetFeel. TweetFeel is service that combines real-time Twitter search with sentiment detection algorithms to determine whether a tweet is positive or negative.
We conducted our analysis for the keyword ‘Brian Cowen’ a short time ago with results showing that 88% of a selection of tweets mentioning Brian Cowen were seen as being negative.
Some of the negative tweets included:

https://twitter.com/neilbrazil/status/6832827907706880″ data-datetime=”2010-11-22T22:14:07+00:00
However, we believe that this 88% figure should really be higher as the few tweets that TweetFeel actually thought of as positive really should have been flagged negative:
