MoodyOrNot.com - The Mood Of The World

The aptly-titled Moody Or Not website will let you keep track of your mood over time, update how you feel as the days go by and partake of an online database that showcases worldwide moods.

Mood is gauged via four different indicators, and these are “Very bad”, “Not OK”, “I’d say well” and “Very good”. A mood emoticon face is available on the site, and this is employed to depict the abovementioned world stats.

The site also comes complete with observations and fun facts as regards moods. For instance, the research conducted so far shows that Monday is the rotten day for moods, but this was to be expected. Also, Friday is the best day by far. That’s nothing new really – Robert Smith himself resorted to the phrase “it’s Friday, I’m in love” when he wanted to showcase that the sun also rises. What I did find surprising was that the mood percentage per se seldom goes below 60 %. This means that good and bad moods keep evening themselves out, taking into account that a 60 % stands for an “I’d Say Well” mood.

When all is said and done, this site plays in the ballyard of web-based endeavors that won’t set the Internet ablaze but still provide interesting information that merits being checked out at least once. You can do so by setting your browser to MoodyOrNot.com.

“Moodyornot is a mood counter that counts people moods from different sources. As you may have noticed, you're able to choose your mood from a list of 4 options starting with 'very bad' and ending at 'very good'. Each of these votes have a value, which means that being in a bad mood results in a low percentage value and vice versa. These 'mood votes' are all sumed together resulting a total mood percentage which translates to stats you see on this site.”

It is a fresh approach that has some sociological relevance.
