Awesome! I think it's important to segregate social media, blog and news media sentiment data. The differences are important, for example, news media will usually run a story on something that already has social buzz. People who post on Medium are probably already invested (in the financial and effort sense) in some side of the conversation. Twitter posts might be fleeting thoughts on a project.

To help beginner's, you might consider some combined number that weighs each rating differently according to what you think is important.

Great points. I think showing all of them on a graph separated will allow you to see how each is affecting the overall sentiment. Being able to make custom feeds will also empower you to make your own weights.
