wefeelfine + Google Map
Here’s a little mashup I created using wefeelfine.org’s data and Google Map. It’s interesting to see some of the result of the geodata visualization. For instance:
Most recent feelings.
Most recent ‘angry’ feelings.
Feelings on April 17th, 2007 (the day after Virginia Tech shooting).
Most recent ’suicidal’ feelings. (it can also be used to solve potential social problem :P)
A brief description from wefeelfine.org:
Since August 2005, We Feel Fine has been harvesting human feelings from a large number of weblogs. Every few minutes, the system searches the world’s newly posted blog entries for occurrences of the phrases “I feel” and “I am feeling”. When it finds such a phrase, it records the full sentence, up to the period, and identifies the “feeling” expressed in that sentence (e.g. sad, happy, depressed, etc.)…The result is a database of several million human feelings, increasing by 15,000 - 20,000 new feelings per day…
*I haven’t test this thing extensively. Things might break.
