RE: Emotional Tension Values - Release versus Building
One constructive criticism of this methodology is that there are a great deal many more words in the "lexicon" which express negative emotion, than positive emotion. As far as I am aware, there is no mechanism in place to account for this bias toward negativity. Also, for whatever reason, the Internet appears to be somewhat imbalanced toward expression of negativity, in general. I would conjecture that people feeling positive emotions are more likely to express them via other means of communication.
