We Feel Fine by Josh Rubin
For almost a year now Jonathan Harris and Sepandar Kamvar have been scanning blogs to find and catalog human feelings. We Feel Fine is their database and visualization of several million emotional statements found by searching blog posts for the phrases "I feel" and "I am feeling." Viewable in six different modes or movements as they call them, the site is a brilliant artistic interpretation of collective and individual feeling. Lots of ancillary data is collected as well— age, gender, location and local weather conditions during the time the blog post was written are also recorded and viewable.
