Words and the moody posts they're in

[jofish22]

Hey all. I posted a longer version of this over on lj_research and also on lj_nifty but I thought some of my homies might want to check this out. Stick a few words in and see what comes out! If you're stuck for inspiration, we've seen some cool results with iraq, bush, mtv, amy, joseph, jennifer, mac, windows. Poke around, it's kind of fun. (Thanks for waiting for me bats22 while I spent ages doing this.)

We wanted to find out what words were characteristic of different moods.

This is absolutely fantastic. "family" gives great results too.

whats interesting is that girlfriend comes up with bored/excited, and boyfriend comes up with loved/excited. So neither are likely to be exciting, but apparently girlfriends are boring and boyfriends are loving?

Hey! We're talking about an average of 100,000 16 to 19 year olds here. I think that's probably spot on, and probably a bit optimistic at that. Do you *remember* being that age? Shit.

Yes, but seeing a statistical method effectively deduce such common stereotypes still makes me giggle.

Hey, that's how we know the fuck it's working. Without that stuff we're just praying we didn't leave a zero out somewhere and fuck the whole thing up.

No, really. It's all about stuff that feels right once you've done the math.

I personally really love the results when you use color names.
