any details to methodology, which news sites are being used?

also, any plans to add analysis from medium / twitter?



Yes medium and twitter are in the pipeline. Sites are being selected based quality of articles.


cool - i find a lot of useful analysis from medium and twitter.

how is quality of articles determined? is there a working list of sites currently included / excluded?


Right now its crypto focused sites, but I find some of them to be positive leaning. Likewise the traditional finance sites seem to be negative leaning. My goal is to add source sentiment so you can see all the sources and which way they lean for all articles. You will also be able to filter the sources you wish to see. Quality of sources/articles are based on reading though the articles, comparing them to similar articles from other sources and making a determination whether or not its a unique article or a spin off another one.


Awesome! I think it's important to segregate social media, blog and news media sentiment data. The differences are important, for example, news media will usually run a story on something that already has social buzz. People who post on Medium are probably already invested (in the financial and effort sense) in some side of the conversation. Twitter posts might be fleeting thoughts on a project.

To help beginner's, you might consider some combined number that weighs each rating differently according to what you think is important.


Great points. I think showing all of them on a graph separated will allow you to see how each is affecting the overall sentiment. Being able to make custom feeds will also empower you to make your own weights.
