From the news

Did Miley Cyrus give you an “Achy Breaky Heart?”14 Oct

Yesterday’s flurry of Twitter activity surrounding the news that Miley Cyrus, tween pop star, would be leaving the microblogging service gave us pause.  Sadness was laced with sarcasm and indifference seem to abound from those who couldn’t even name one of her songs if their life depended on it.  So enough of this subjective guessing about whether or not there’s actual sadness from the community about her leaving.  Let’s seek out the truth.  Enter review’d [and a cool graph showing negative and positive  tweets]:

Cool graph

We were able to track close to 800 tweets yesterday expressing an opinion about Miley.  The verdict is in: while yes there was support for Miley, the shift was definitely in the negative direction.  In general, from those who expressed an opinion that review’d was able to track, people are not that upset to see her go.  Some even went so far to kick her on the way out…but out of respect we will save you the cross-link to examples (even though this is all based off of our activity on “a lame gossip site”).

Worry not; however.  There’s still Ashton Kutcher, Oprah, John Mayer, and Britney Spears to fill your soul with whatever it is they fill people’s souls with…in 140 characters or less.
