Comments on: TweetPsych: This is your brain on Twitter

See how you stack up mentally against other Twitter users with TweetPsych. This tool looks at your past Twitter messages and figures out if you're off your rocker.

Haha I never imagined twitter could be used for so many versatile ways. :)

Good one.

I don't believe that any type of analysis of my last thousand tweets, or any of my over 20K tweets, will lead to any meaningful data that can be used by anyone other than myself, as no one else knows why I'm using Twitter, except for me. Search for The Experiment, and see what you come up with.

"This is your brain on Twitter" ... makes a glaring assumption. That "Tweeters" have a brain? Now, where is that ol' "Wizard of Oz" when you really need him?

Shouldn't it always just say, "Your a loser for using Twitter"?

I just dont understand twitter! Its like Facebook, minus everything but the status update...Whats the point?

Unfortunately, this effort lacks the actual science and psychology necessary to make it even a semi-useful tool. And as I note in my review and analysis of the tool, it is undergoing constant revision right now, meaning the results aren't particularly useful, reliable or valid:
