Are you storing the twitter feed for further analysis? Running any textual sentiment analysis or just tweet volume?

Yes and yes.  The sentiment analysis is done with a probability classifier, so items it isn't sure of get put in a separate bin so I can manually classify them later and update the classifiers with this new knowledge.

Word about Bitcoin is overwhelmingly positive (http://www.whatdoestheinternetthink.net/bitcoin), so I have to run some statistics to see how the current mood compares to past mood.
