Method and system tracking and determining public sentiment relating to social media

摘要

A method for determining influential broadcast messages in which a processing device identifies a plurality of re-posts of a post, wherein each re-post comprises a time stamp, determines whether the time stamp of the re-post is within a first time interval or a second time interval, increments a first count associated with the first time interval when the time stamp is within the first time interval or a second count associated with the second time interval when the time stamp is within the second time interval, and determines a public sentiment attribute associated with the post in view of a comparison between the first count and the second count.
