Sentiment.ly

Twitter users analyzed, using the brains of IBM Watson's Tone Analyzer.

Wouldn't it be great if there were a web app where you could "test drive" a social media post or text message and have IBM Watson's powerful sentiment analysis tool tell you how that text is likely to be perceived?

Wouldn't you love it if you could run someone's tweets through Watson and find out how their expressed sentiments will ACTUALLY be perceived?

Enter Sentiment.ly!
