clj-twitter-feelings

Shows how people on twitter are feeling, in real-time. Meant to be an example of a swing app in Clojure.

Usage

Download [the standalone jar][1] and run it like:

java -jar clj-twitter-feelings-1.0.0-standalone.jar

Or checkout the source and

  • build using leiningen and run using Java:

    git clone git://github.com/abhin4v/clj_twitter_feelings.git clj_twitter_feelings cd clj_twitter_feelings lein deps && lein uberjar java -jar target/clj-twitter-feelings-1.0.0-standalone.jar

  • OR run using leiningen-run plugin:

    git clone git://github.com/abhin4v/clj_twitter_feelings.git clj_twitter_feelings cd clj_twitter_feelings lein deps && lein run

How it works

  • Access the twitter sample tweet stream (the users need to input their twitter credentials for accessing the stream)
  • Find the feeling related adjectives in each tweet's status text and lookup their type (Positive, Neutral, Negative) against the included list of adjectives in text files
  • Keep the count of the adjective types in a sliding window of tweets
  • Show the count on the UI
