An Almanac of Internet Emotion
Computer scientist Sep Kamvar discusses the ways researchers are beginning to tap the blogosphere for psychological insights
Sep Kamvar is a consulting professor of computational mathematics at Stanford University and computer scientist who specializes in data mining. He is also the co-founder, with artist Jonathan Harris, of the popular website “We Feel Fine,” which combs blogs for expressions of emotion, and then displays the results in swarms of vivid color. The site provides a way to explore the emotional contours of our shared virtual world, and has also attracted the interest of psychologists and other scientists. Now the duo have compiled some of the site’s most interesting -- and visually arresting -- findings into a book, “We Feel Fine: An Almanac of Human Emotion.” Kamvar spoke with Mind Matters Editor Gareth Cook about the project and the potential it holds for psychology.
