It is about time someone found a way to measure news beyond simple clicks. Adding in a new layer of data of how a story made someone feel can help shape the way journalists report. For instance, a highly popular story on a tame topic that is making people furious may be a reflection of a poorly written piece and not simply a piece on an intense subject. It can also lead for a deeper investigation in what needs to be written about next. Great stuff. From brandflakesforbreakfast:
nbc's mood meter: "
This new NBC site lets visitors vote on how they feel about the stories - and the results are immediately posted in fun, easy to skim categories, like 'intrigued', 'sad', 'laughing', 'bored', and more.
Makes reading the local news just a little more fun. How could your message delivery be more entertaining? From
