tweetpsycDo you belong to the league of tweeterers who have posted more than 1000 tweets? Why not play with Twitter and punch the clock to get people matching your psychological wavelength. What if you could read their minds just by looking at their Twitter profile. Yikes! That doesn’t call for a brain scan when you have a cool program to manage them. Well, we got across one such Twitter service that sounds quite interesting. TweetPsych offers psychological profile of a person based on the content of their tweets.


The service uses two linguistic analysis algorithms (RID and LIWC) to build a the psychological profile of the person. TweetPsych analyzes your last 1000 tweets to provide a valid output. Clearly,  it works better on accounts operated by a single user. TweetPsych requires you to enter a URL and creates a similar profile of the content of that page. Then it shows you the list of the 50 Twitter users who’s profiles indicate they’re mostly likely psychologically aligned with the site that you entered. This is not based on the topical content of the tweets, rather it focuses on the mental characteristics.
