mood tracking software

medicalnews tells us today

Dutch researcher Maarten de Rijke and his co-workers Gilad Mishne and Krisztian Balog have developed a new programme that can trace and explain significant changes in mood patterns on the Internet. MoodViews is a collection of instruments that maps the mood of bloggers as they write their message.

this is the kind of thing they post:

MoodViews: blog mood analysis

(this changes every 10 minutes or so - so come back and looks what the world is like in a little while!)

now they chart the mood of all of the bloggers on livejournal, one of the free blogging platforms. so i tried to see what vancouver bloggers' moods were today - but i had a hard time finding a lot of vancouver livejournal users, so i gave up on that.

instead i looked for different mood tracker software, and found VistaWrite, which tracks your mood and goals, and it has a little journal, too. i'll try it out for the 30 days i can have it for free and let you know how it goes.

right now my mood is ... i don't know. i'm too tired ...

gnite ...

Isabella,

We have a free site which allows users to track their moods and symptoms of illnesses online. Users select what they want to track and can track as often as they wish. It has a journal as well as a forum to interact with other users. The site can be found at: http://mypsychtracker.com

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the system.
