Posted at 03:15 PM Sunday - September 02, 2007Fortune cookie and Princeton egg
Thats what I got when I have when I have clicked on www.wefeelfine.org not exactly literary masterpiece I with my English would do better job here but just like a the fortune cookie more accurate than this it could not be :). I got link to this website from Ann P. after some exchange of emails about different subjects including my post from time ago about Princeton egg. Why Princeton well simple it seems like Princeton is the place where what nobody sensible would believe they examine and try to find scientific backing. Science or not people feel can make judgment till certain extent the best illustration is the transitional space on my photo blog. So what do you wait go to the www.wefeelfine.org and check it out indeed very interesting project and maybe your feeling of that moment will be described as accurately as was mine. "We Feel Fine is an exploration of human emotion on a global scale. 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.). Because blogs are structured in largely standard ways, the age, gender, and geographical location of the author can often be extracted and saved along with the sentence, as can the local weather conditions at the time the sentence was written. All of this information is saved. The result is a database of several million human feelings, increasing by 15,000 - 20,000 new feelings per day. Using a series of playful interfaces, the feelings can be searched and sorted across a number of demographic slices, offering responses to specific questions like: do Europeans feel sad more often than Americans? Do women feel fat more often than men? Does rainy weather affect how we feel? What are the most representative feelings of female New Yorkers in their 20s? What do people feel right now in Baghdad? What were people feeling on Valentine's Day? Which are the happiest cities in the world? The saddest? And so on." | | | | | home | | |
