Philly Twitter is negative, but not most negative, according to Data Jawn - Technical.ly Philly

The reboot of Data Jawn, the Philly-centric data science event that took place Wednesday at the Science History Insitute, came peppered with deep thoughts, good memes and hard data. Out of over a dozen speakers, perhaps the most striking was Magento's Ben Garvey, who analyzed 1.5 million geo-tagged tweets in answer the long-running question: Is the "negadelphia" myth true? Garvey captured over 100,000 tweets from each of the 13 biggest cities in the country and ran them through a speech sentiment analysis tool. "Philly is one of the least positive-tweeting cities in America," Garvey said, signaling our city's score of 0.72. Los Angeles tops the list as least negative city with a score of 0.99.
