Awesome. I had no idea I how I felt about poverty (when did I comment on that?)

Why would you comment on this like this... when you worked on it?

Doesn't work for me. I get "User name not found. Might be a temporary outage. Sorry."

Looks like twitter back in the ol day

did early twitter use to analyze the tweets as well ? how is it similar to old twitter?

Did someone type in one of the karma brothers, tptacek or patio11? That might be what crashed the site.

I'd be interested to see the analysis it returns for a prolific poster.

The sentiment analysis is on a comment by comment basis -- see screen shot. So no overall personality assessment. We only analyze and display the top ~10 comments from a given user.

I'm pretty sure my recent comments have been very grumpy. I wish I could get confirmation of this, but the service seems to be down.

You do sound pretty grumpy about the server being down.

Dead for me too ... "User name not found. Might be a temporary outage. Sorry."

The screenshot is nice though.

Looks like we overwhelmed the HN server trying to service 1500 queries in the last 3 hours. We are getting it sorted out. Thanks for your patience.

Can it run on a comment before it goes live, to preemptively advise on perceived tone?

We put in a fix. Looks like it's working again. But there might be some continued instability. Please let us know if you find a persistent problem. Thanks!

Should be a lot more stable now. We were up late coding up an alternate route to access HN. Enjoy!
