Over the last few weeks I have been tracking twitter for mentions of the string “Coldfusion” just out of interest to see what everyone has to say. However, after a while I have noticed something worrying, lots of the twitters out there is negative to Coldfusion. Does this possibly signify a dramatic PR problem for CF?
Here is a list of all the “twits” I have received recently (that I could find), both negative and positive. Make up your own mind…
(despotes): I am really sick of Coldfusion. Or, I should say that I’m sick of Coldfusion and Leopard
(mcaulay): slipknot and coldfusion…a winning combination!
(despotes): it’s taking two hours to download the coldfusion 8 installer once again. Why my Internet hurt?
(joaofernandes): @ryanstewart you should try the new ColdFusion-renamed-to-silverlight-sys-con journal…or not…
(reboog711): ColdFusion is Squishy. I wish I said that
(fusedreality): Installing Coldfusion to give it a try on the ride to Edinburgh.. Very surprised to see that the installer for the modules is java….
(philcrissman): @fusedreality yes coldfusion is very tied to java. It’s supposed to be a feature, I believe. 
(KuraFire): @chockenberry it’ll always be ColdFusion to me *shiver*
(armchairgeek): Words can’t express the loathing I have for ColdFusion.
(thinman): Un-installing, re-installing FlexBuilder & ColdFusion 8 Report Builder on Windows running in Parallels on MB Pro. Ow. This hurts.
(tpryan): Just got a Coldfusion app to compile to Air.
(daviddemello): finally swallowing the red pill that is ruby on rails. Amused that Adobe’s latest release of ColdFusion is packaged in blue.
(pierrenel): @SantaClaus uses coldfusion? Heh how apt.
(alexknowshtml): facebook photo export app works, but only after throwing the same 3 errors for each album. thanks coldfusion.
(uselink126): @All: Don’t be a ColdFusion Hater!
(bloomburst): ColdFusion Meeting on Python, Ruby?: When it comes to the monthly SLCFUG meetings I really can’t..
(adamrabin): I’m using Coldfusion to write to Twitter. Whee
(LissaKay): Installing IIS and ColdFusion … it’s gonna be a long night. Need more hot chocolate … with marshmallows
(goatlady): @ocean ColdFusion geek thing
(LissaKay): Why in the heck will this damnable ColdFusion crap not install right??
(awfurby): @gutta they are using coldfusion as the app server - odd choice
(oheina): Coldfusion annoys the skittles out of me 
Hi Neil, my reply to ryan was about Sys-con, nothing against ColdFusion itself, I love that product too much
I’d be interested to see what you get if you do the same for RoR or ASP.NET. I’d imagine that a good amount could just be general frustration from those encountering errors or bugs they can’t figure out
(who knows how much they’ve worked with CF). If I twittered I’d have been praising ColdFusion all day, but I’m too busy for that…
I agree with Rachel on this. People tend to twitter negativly i.e. Damn xxxx is annoying me or I’m sitting around while xx does this.
You tend not to see I was programming and this rocked!
Like Rachel said though would be good to compare to other languages too
