Serena Zaccagnini on 30 Sep 11Okay wait here's the description: After half a billion tweets were analysed, it has been noted how moods tend to rise and fall across the world.

Many, however, would say that Twitter users can't simply represent humanity, but only a small part of it. All that's left is to figure out why user's moods change the way they do, and how to change that.
