We Feel Fine

"I get the feeling that I am stranded in the wrong time" -someone in Mississippi at 1:56 p.m.

The anonymous person above is one of 4,234,137 feelings that has been collected since August 2005 on the interactive weblog We Feel Fine. 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.). The result is a database of several million human feelings, increasing by 15,000 - 20,000 new feelings per day.

Now the above may sound a little technical, but the website is just the opposite. When you launch the We Feel Fine website, you are bombarded with thousands of bright dots scattering around the page. Looking like a rainbow exploded - each one of these dots contains the unfilitered feelings of bloggers all over the world. The site is very detailed, letting the user search feelings by gender, place, time etc. A truly unique concept, explore the site for yourself.
