From the SmithMag blog who clicked it from GrrlScientist you’ll want to see We Feel Fine. Made by Jonathon Harris and Sepandar Kamvar, We Feel Fine is a lovely data aggregation and visualization project which scrapes hundreds of thousands of blogs and websites looking for the term ‘I feel’. It then captures how they feel and grabs any age, sex and locality info it can. Finally anyone can interact with these sentiments via a beautiful interface composed of a field of swirling dots, which when clicked, display the written sentiments of the writer and their information. You can even limit the display to particular feelings, ages, sex, region, weather, and country. It’s astounding.

Reading an endless universe of human sentiment makes interaqcting with We Feel Fine a powerful experience. You think perhaps you are sensing what the whole world is feeling at this very moment. Of course, in the end, it’s not the whole world at all, just english-typing website-posting people, but whoa nelly, it’s sublime.
