thanks for sharing, i think this is a fun, light-hearted application! i would be interested in seeing a percentage of how east coast rapper i am (60% east coast / 40% west coast) just to see the break out. also, it would be cool to show some of my tweets that feature some of those keywords, to remind me (as i couldn't recall any tweets that had those words).

aside from that, great work!

thanks for the comment, means a lot! Good suggestion as well, the percentage one might be too hard as I'm using some basic NLTK libraries, but the one showing tweets I'll definitely look into!

Furthermore, the words listed are certainly not necessarily words you used, but just the 50 most differentiating words between east and west coast. 'compton' is used way more in west coast lyrics than east for example. It's just there to see some fun differences not related to your personal twitter stream. At last, in total the classifier looks for not 50, but 1000 words in classifying your tweets. Hope this explained it a bit.
