After looking at the top 100 digital currencies by social media presence last week, it’s time to dive deeper and look at the most popular digital currencies on Twitter. I ran the Top 100 coins on CoinMarketCap.com through Topsy.com‘s social search tool to generate a list of each coin’s total number of tweets over the past 30 days and each coin’s social sentiment ranking. What’s social sentiment? That’s Topsy’s indication of whether people are “postive,” “negative” or “neutral” on a particular term on Twitter. A 50 is neutral, anything below that is negative, anything above that is positive. I’m not sure how accurate it is, but it’ll be interesting to see how sentiment changes over time. For instance, bitcoin has the lowest sentiment rating out of the Top 100 cryptocurrencies right now! That’s probably because of all the crazy news around the coin: a suicide, the alleged outing of Satoshi and the collapse of Mt. Gox. Next month, bitcoin could very well have the highest sentiment rating… Interestingly, this month, that honor belongs to primecoin. I’d love to hear an explanation as to why. I’ll make a note on my calendar to re-run this list next month so we can see which coins are trending up and which coins are trending down. Note that the columns in the table below are sortable:

Think it would be best to start adding a #frk at the end of all my post to help this?
