Feel on! iPhone App Lets You Tweet with Emotion

A new Twitter client for iPhone “Feel on!” (iTunes link and available only in Japan store) was released last week. “Another one?!”, you might question. But this Twitter client puts emphasis on emotions of a tweet making the app completely different from the ones you’ve already seen.

What “Feel on!” does is that it analyzes the emotions in each tweet, and adds an appropriate cartoon to the tweet to match your tweet’s emotion.  “L is B“, the creator of “Feel on!” is a start-up based in Tokyo, Japan.  The team succeeded in developing it’s own social emotion engine (SEE) which translates users’ tweets into emotions such as love, excitement, sadness, surprise, etc.

User’s emotions can be shown in a stripe format by going to the profile page.  You can do so by tapping the rainbow mark on the upper right corner.  As shown, my tweets are full of love and excitement as shown in the capture below.

A minor but cool feature within the “Feel on!” app is that by shaking your iPhone, it will remove the cartons in your tweet timeline. If your boss happens to do a spot check, simply shake your iPhone to remove all the ‘complain-related’ emotions in your timeline. Catch the demo video below to get a better understanding:

With “Feel on!”, a simple tweet now comes with a face. “Feel on!! is planned to be released as a website in late April and on Android in August.
