Check out WeFeelFine. Especially the interactive version you’ll find on this site. The authors (Jonathan Harris and Sep Kamvar) wrote software to scan blogs for feelings and categorize them in different ways, then present them in different ways.
Each emotional event is a particle. The colored particles are shown in different displays. You can click on a particle and the sentence with the feeling will be displayed.
It elicits a kind of awe–even a feeling of overwhelm, for me, after a few minutes of browsing the surges of feelings.
What I love about it is that it is playful, beautiful, and profound–and that it represents a lovely evolution of the notion of “book.”
Please explore it and tell me what you think in comments here.
The history of the Scotland Flag is very intresting story.
Thank you, Thomas!
