I may have to modify my new years resolutions to include hacking together one of these things for my desk at work.

Aaaaaw.

Using the Guardian’s recently launched Open Platform, this little guy monitors your Twitter feed for “happy” and “sad” posts of those you follow and alerts you to the need to respond to people.

According to TweetPsych, I often use twitter to tweet about my various senses, discuss positive sensations and feelings, talk about various cognitive processes like learning, thinking, knowing, etc., talk a lot about jobs and work, and often tweet about the future. My Social behavior rating is much higher than my moral imerative rating. Some people who think like me include drapetomaniac, werner, Phil_Adams, nickflare and renn.

Somewhat of an interesting web toy, but it analyzes your last 1,000 tweets, a number I’m no where close to yet. Still, the concept of analizing people based on their public content has potential. I doesn’t include a narcissism rating, which I guess must just be a given considering you have to be using Twitter in the first place in order for it to work, and thus think you can distill your Wisdom Tooth like insights into 140 characters to the eternal delight of your impending masses of followers.

According to it’s new site profiler, drew3000.net spends a lot of time talking in the present tense (case in point here) and often makes “references to physically upward movement, Like upstairs, climb, etc.” Hardly Freud, but it’s interesting that psychological analysis is entering the automated stage. Once the web really analizes what people are thinking about based on what we all put online, I think we’ll see a Skynet style response, which you could hardly consider unjustified.

It’s just too damned easy to add stuff via del.icio.us. But it’s not working today for some reason, so I may just go and twitter something instead. Weird how the InterWeb is responsible for so many goofy verbs or gives new meaning to otherwise normal ones: google, twitter, blog, ping, poke, skype, m.s., rip.

Update: And now it is.
