Since August 2005, We Feel Fine has been harvesting human feelings from a large number of weblogs.
Every few minutes, the system searches the world's newly posted blog entries for occurrences of the phrases "I feel" and "I am feeling".
When it finds such a phrase, it records the full sentence, up to the period, and identifies the "feeling" expressed in that sentence.

The result is a database of several million human feelings, increasing by 15,000 - 20,000 new feelings per day.
