SingMood Measures Singapore’s Mood Using Tweets

SingMood aggregates tweets located in Singapore and examines them for “happy” and “sad” keywords in real-time.

Data from Twitter is aggregated and the overall mood is displayed on a “mood-o-meter” which refreshes with every tweet.

SingMood also shows a graph displaying the number of happy and sad tweets by-the-hour so you get an idea of when people are happier or sadder during the course of a day. Users can also click on the happy/sad “bar” to see who tweeted a particular tweet.

Anol Bhattacharya, CEO at GetIT told us that the company created Singmood out of fun. Singmood is free and an open source project where developers can create their own mashup using their codes. Here’s a comparison between Thursday and Friday, which we can see Singaporeans tweeting less negatively on a Friday.

Coincidentally, there’s a similar service in India called Moodler. Singmood gets data from Twitter while Moodler is a social network itself, tracking mood by mood icons. You can read more about Moodler here.
