Like many of us inside the beltway here in DC – you may be glued to your TV, twitter streams and social media monitoring tools trying to gulp down some of the information coming at us about health care reform. Leaving my personal views aside, I thought it might be interesting to gauge the general sentiment (positive or negative) around this issue using a favorite tool of mine, Scoutlabs. Here’s what I just found:
- In the past 6 months 59,005 blog posts have been written with “healthcare” included as a keyword
- 47,309 of those posts have been positive
- 11,696 have been negative
- 75.3% have positive things to say about healthcare

Any idea on that large slump in the middle?
The slump is due to Christmas/New Years break.
That is what I figured, I guess trying to find a Zhu Zhu petshop has higher prevalence than healthcare reform. GBA!
Interesting! I’d love to see a similar graph for FB, Twitter, and the COMMENTS that appear on these blogs and discussion forums…
