How does Singapore feel today?

SingMood.com determines Singaporeans' collective mood through data gathered from tweets of the day.

GetIT Comms, a leading provider of digital and social media marketing and communications solutions, today launched SingMood, a Twitter-based gauge that provides a real-time view of the collective mood of Singaporeans.

SingMood aggregates tweets located in Singapore and examines them for "happy" and "sad" keywords. Keywords include: happy, glad, fabulous, awesome, funny, laughing, fun, excited, exciting, ‘yay’, enjoying, overjoyed, blissful,
sad, disappointed, angry, irritated, frustrated, regret, heartbreaking, heartbroken, ‘pissed’, ‘fml’, ‘sucks’, despair, sigh, bad, sick and cry. The data is aggregated and the overall mood is displayed on a "mood-o-meter" which refreshes with every tweet.

SingMood also shows a graph displaying the number of happy and sad tweets by-the-hour so you get an idea of when people are happier/ sadder during the course of a day. You can also click on the happy/sad "bar" to see who tweeted.

Anol Bhattacharya, Director and CEO, GetIT Comms elaborates on the keyword selection process: "It took a lot of hard-thinking and trial and error to nail down the keyword list. When we tried adding "LOL" and "haha" to our happy list, we saw a huge spike in the number of happy tweets. However, more often than not, the tweets didn’t actually reflect happiness. Some examples: ‘Haha, so bored.’ and ‘Warehouse boss took my markers. LOL.’ The team at GetIT has a passion for social media that goes beyond our day-to-day client strategies and implementations. We had a lot of fun developing the application and we hope Singapore has fun exploring it!"

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
