Is there any web app or software where you can type in a term or just a hashtag and the software will go through X amount of tweeds and determine how many are positive and how many are negative. Eg I type in Microsoft and it says 51% are like "hate Microsoft" and 49% are "love Microsoft"

Define "positive" or "negative"? With today's slang, to say something is "bad" or "radical" may actually mean the opposite. And how would you classify the sentence "Microsoft is a company everyone loves to hate"? I think we've ways to go in computer science before computers can classify emotions :) – Traveling Tech Guy Nov 8 '10 at 3:54
