Sentiment analysis/modeling in finance?

Long story short, I started a company with a phD student whose thesis centered on studying the efficacy of using sentiment/linguistic analysis as a method of mitigating risk and building trust in the sharing economy. The algorithm and API we developed worked quite well and even got patented.

However, we acted on a hunch and augmented the technology to measure sentiment on particular stocks across Twitter. My question is: is this a feature that is currently used - or would be valuable - to the finance industry? Either day traders, financial institutions, or maybe hedge funds?
