How does 2007 feel like?

January 13th, 2007 by

I’ve used “We Feel Fine” (www.wefeelfine.org) exciting blog mining engine designed to scan blog posts for occurrences of the phrases “I feel” and “I am feeling”. Their data comes from a variety of online sources, including livejournal, MSN spaces, myspace, blogger, flickr, technorati, feedster, icerocket and google.
Until now, 6,545,330 feelings were collected from 1,521,540 unique people. Here are the most recent 50 “feeling” sentences as they were originally appeared in blogs:

Looking through these sentences, it seems that 2007 hasn’t started so well for many of us. Most of us feel sad or anger. But remember- those were out of a random choice. In search for good news, I used their statistics to find out what were the most common feelings overall: luckily, the most dominate feeling was “better”!
1- feeling “better” by 128,155 people

2- felling “bad” by 93,390 people

3- felling “good” by 76,610 people

4- feeling “right” by 40,683 people

    […] Seeking for original research tools I found MoodViews’ Moodgrapher: The Moodgrapher plots the mood levels reported by LiveJournal users in their posts. You can choose dates and pick desirable moods to search on. Moodgrapher will allow you to compare two different moods and will present it all in nice charts. This concept much resembles wefeelfine (which collects emotions from a much larger database of blogs), but seems? more friendly to research with. […]
