Today someone told me about We Feel Fine, a very addictive site that basically takes keyword search strings and organizes them by feeling (such as happy, sad, excited, masochistic, etc), then represents them in different ways — text are dots, the colors represent a feeling; squares are pictures — and then lets you decide how you want to view the mass of feelings posted to the Internet. There are six different “movements” to choose from, including just having murmurs, or the sentences where the words appear, come up one after another on the screen. I am in no way doing justice to the very cool UI they have put together. Some of the information isn’t quite right, but still, I had fun today looking at women’s feelings in the city of Baghdad, Iraq today (kind of depressing), and also people in Israel. You can even narrow your search by weather, which is kind of funny too.

So, its cool, and I think it has way more value than Twitter, which I can’t seem to figure out the point of (though maybe it is because my friend list is so lame — no offense, friends). Plus, Twitter seems to be down half the time I think about Twittering. So, its just frustrating.

We Feel Fine is the perfect web lurker experience, kind of like PostSecret but with way more ways to slice the information, and it isn’t edited, like PostSecret is. Anyway, I find it very addictive.
