wefeelfine.org, mapping the feelings of the world?

weblife iconCarrying on the theme of data visualisation, I followed the path and came across a remarkable program by Jonathan Harris and Sepandar Kamvar that collects and then displays the current feelings of people around the world.

It sounds a bit strange but what they do is look for the words “I feel” and “I am feeling” aggregated from among blog posts across the world. When they get a match they collect the whole sentence and drag it into their software and show it graphically. Amazingly clever stuff.
