TweetCred Extension

TweetCred is a real-time, web-based system to assess credibility of content on Twitter. The system provides a credibility rating between 1 to 7 for each tweet on the Twitter timeline. The score is computed using a supervised automated ranking algorithm that determines credibility of a tweet based on 45 features. The system considers various factors to determine the credibility, such as, the tweet content, properties of user who posted the tweet, external URLs or pictures shared in the tweet, etc.

Credibility score: 1 (low credibility) - 7 (high credibility)

Please help us in evaluating and testing the system.

Tristan Morath (ID: 00000008c22cbf79) Voted 2 ★ - Updated 07/12/2015 Good idea, but all tweets are given an exclamation point for a rating. Poor implementation.
