We Feel Fine

June 3rd, 2006

the collective emotional zeitgeist of bloggers, at your fingertips

“An exploration of human emotion in six movements.” That’s how We Feel Fine describes itself. It’s an interesting application that searches blogs for occurrences of the phrases “I feel” and “I am feeling,” does some work when it does, then graphically represents the collective results as it slices and dices the data its gathered a whole bunch of ways. I think “murmurs” is probably my favorite, though “montage” is pretty cool, too. You can click on dots in the interface to read the actual blog post excerpts. There’s more on the methodology here, but it sure is fun to play with. (Thanks to George Pariseau over on Soflow for the heads up on this one.)
