I’ve always wondered — if we could take a snapshot of how the whole world feels right now, what would it look like?
So I built a little project called Today’s World Mood. Everyone gets one vote per day — Good, Bad, or Neutral — and the site updates in real time to show the planet’s overall mood. Unfortunately the data is limited for right now as this is just being deployed.

This is also my first time with a project like this though I see the potential of having so many different ways to represent historical mood data if it becomes popular enough.

Check it out and add your vote: https://todaysworldmood.com

  2. I’d like to see how far we Americans pull down the average.

  3. There’s always a bigger incentive to expressive negative moods and not positive ones. I think for the majority of the time the results will have higher turnouts for neutral and bad moods regardless of whether that reflects most people’s real state of being.

  4. Pretty cool idea! May I make a suggestion? Rather than displaying “today’s leading mood”, assign a value to each mood (like 1 for good, 0 for neutral, and -1 for bad) and display the average. Otherwise it’s probably just going to be “good” all the time.

  5. This is really cool, awesome idea and clean execution. Hopefully you get enough data to expand this project how you want!

  6. While everyone is checking it out, please feel free to make comments about UI functionality on various devices. I am a stickler about a good user interface.

  8. There used to be Hedonometer. Until Elon Musk closed the Twitter API.
