About Moodsignals
What is Moodsignals ?
MoodViews tracks and analyzes mood annotations used by bloggers in their writings. Moodsignals looks at unusual peaks in the levels of mood annotations. It identifies peaks, and then tries to explain the peaks found by analyzing the language used by bloggers. In looking for explanations, Moodsignals searches news archives.
Why do this?

We believe that the non-factual aspect of blog entries is an important part of what makes people read and browse around blogs rather than, say, online news papers.
