atsaty v0.1.0

Atsaty

A tweet says a thousand yeps...

Atsaty acts like yes, but instead of always outputting yeps, it uses sentiment analysis to find the current mood of English-speaking tweeters on Twitter. If there are more positive tweeters than negative, it outputs yep, otherwise it outputs nope.

$ atsaty
y
y
y
...

var atsaty = require("atsaty");

atsaty(function(err, yep) {
    if(yep) console.log("Everyone on Twitter seems to be happy");
    else console.log("Tweeters are crying at the moment");
});

atsaty("from:z0w0", function(err, yep) {
    if(yep) console.log("The creator of this pointless thing is happy");
    else console.log("The creator is sad, T__T");
});
