What is MoodViews?
MoodViews is a collection of tools for tracking the stream of mood-annotated text made available by LiveJournal. At present, MoodViews consists of three components, each offering a different view of global mood levels, the aggregate across all postings of the various moods:
- Moodgrapher tracks the global mood levels,
- Moodteller predicts them, and
- Moodsignals (coming soon) helps in understanding the underlying reasons for mood changes.
Please go to the individual pages for the tools, explore them, and look at the background information and examples that we provide there.
New developments
Our research aim is to develop novel methods for searching, discovering and retrieving blogs. We believe that non-factual aspects of blog entries such as moods are an important part of what makes people read and navigate around blogs. In addition to Moodsignals we are currently working on a number of new tools to track, explore, and analyze moods.
