Wefeelfine now includes the West Midlands…

‘We Feel Fine’ is an ‘emotion map’ of recent postings from genuine weblogs (it seems to filter out the splogopshere, probably because it’s made by one of Google’s top people), detecting English keywords and phrases associated with certain emotions and feelings, and then plotting these into ‘clouds’ where similar postings flock together…

It can be filtered by city (predictably the city of Stoke-on-Trent is deemed not to exist — yet the town of Stafford does) and a wide range of other factors including gender, age and weather…

It can also be displayed as ‘feeling mobs’, seen here for Birmingham…

…with each dot being clickable to a post…
