How it works

The vast amounts of user-generated content on the Web often produce information overload as frequently as they provide enlightenment. Twitter Weather reduces large quantities of text into meaningful data - and visualizes the prevailing mood by rendering a weather-report-style display. Supporting Twitter Weather is a user-trained Web service that aggregates and ranks emotional content on a topic. Please rate a tweet or 10 to help us improve Twitter Weather.

Twitter Weather is a research project of the Information Ecology group at the MIT Media Lab. It is currently in development, but you can try it out and give us your feedback at twitterweather [at] media dot mit dot edu. Terms are cached for 15 minutes.
