It’s a good introduction to the topic of Social Media monitoring! Nobody’s going to take the data too seriously but it’s certainly a useful free tool.
Many thanks!!

Some results are good, some are funny, some are just plain ridiculous.

However I think you need to finetune your search algorithm where it concerns one word searches.

Why?
I do think that lawyers from google, yahoo or bing might slap you with a mighty lawsuit when seeing the following results:
Conclusion: The internet is mainly positive on the subject of incest, according to Google.
Conclusion: Even the internet is not quite sure about rape, according to Yahoo.
Conclusion: The internet is mainly positive on the subject of torture, according to Bing.

Hi, I love the idea behind the website. I’ve been chatting about it with my friends concerning the attitude towards religion on the internet. And I think we may have found a bug.

If you search Barack Obama (I know, nothing to do with religion) you get back over 2.5 milllion results with almost all of them being “Don’t Care” and it saying that no one has an opinion about Barack Obama on Twitter (I find this hard to believe).

But if you search just Obama, it looks like more realistic results (it was like a 60:40 split between positive and negative).

Anyways, I think it is a great idea and a great discussion starter. Just thought I would point out some wonky results. Thanks again!
