Harvesting feelings
October 17th, 2007
What people do on the internet… and make too, because coming up with the idea is one thing, being able to perform is another.
Since August 2005, We Feel Fine (click on the big pink heart) 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”. The result is a database of several million human feelings.
Incredible and wonderful.
