He's built the World Mood Map using Google Maps and all you need to do to contribute to this experiment is tell the map what color best describes your current mood and your current location. Enter a few lines describing your mood and name if you wish and your mood selection contributes to the overall "color of the world". Right now the world's feeling a bit purple with a moodmeter reading of 4.4 - Yesterday was a 8.0 at a firey shade of red. :) This is a fun and thought provoking mashup.. Could environmental, seasonal and social factors affect this reading? I think the sample size needs to increase just a bit before we start to draw any conclusions, so enter your mood now! :)

ok. no offence meant to whoever developed this mashup, but this is a complete waste of time. I have never seen a more pointless mashup. In fact, its so stupid . Seriously, whats the friggin point?
oooo, my mood is grey by the way.
In response to the previous rude person, I think this is a really interesting idea for a mashup. I found this site because I had a similar idea, and I was looking to see if it had already been done. My idea was for a few selected choices of moods rather than colors, but same idea. I think the hard work is in the algorythm to color the map with a nice visualization of the data, but it seems like the blog author has taken down the site, so I can't see what he has done.
