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!"

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
