Tracking the pulse of America

This is an awesome little feature (in that really really nerdy awesome kind of way) that graphs the moods of users of livejournal.com (a type of web-diary for friends to read). For each post livejournal users typically pick a mood they are in (also they frequently will post the music or movie they are listening to or watching), it seems that the good folks in Amsterdam thought that this may be of some worth. Check it out.

By the way, I found it via the freakonomics blog, Steven Levitt really is the man.
