I feel...
Interesting web project by Jonathan Harris & Sepandar Kamvar…
"Since August 2005, We Feel Fine has been harvesting human feelings from a large number of weblogs. 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.). Because blogs are structured in largely standard ways, the age, gender, and geographical location of the author can often be extracted and saved along with the sentence, as can the local weather conditions at the time the sentence was written. All of this information is saved. The result is a database of several million human feelings, increasing by 15,000 - 20,000 new feelings per day."

Thought this was pretty cool…
Some of the stuff that comes up sounds like poetry.
You can even narrow the search right down to read the feeling people posted in melbourne only hours ago.
Like the “mounds” section too … 1,735 people blogging while “feeling drunk” :) maybe not a good idea.
