Twitter Mood Light - The World's Mood in a Box

Step 13 Enjoy!

Some possible extensions include:

• Making it multilingual and not just English speaking places. 
• Perhaps just associating with a keyword, for example every tweet must contain the word "Obama", then you could gauge public opinion on just that subject.
• Location specific. Perhaps you just care about your town or country. Twitter allows you to use the geocoding to do this.
• Make it tweet what the world mood is so as to complete the circle
• Ability to connect to it from a computer to see what keywords people are so emotive about.

I am very interested to hear any comments, corrections or questions. Please do contact me, if you so wish.

Hi,

I compiled this code and getting me lot of errors..
plz help me!!!

a wonderful project, and as said by many its well executed. i have a few questions. instead of a 4-pin LED can it be run on 3 different 2-pin LED? and when i connected the wires to pins 3,5,6 the LED's dont glow. I'm using a 9v plug instead of buying those cumbersome power hungry batteries. waiting to hear a reply.

...  I have to say.... this is simply genius.   I've viewed many projects on here, but this is the first one I had to comment  on just to say how good of an idea it was.  I WILL be building this.

Thank you!

Do contact me if you have any issues building it. Having had the thing running for a while, I must suggest using rechargeable batteries. I will be very interested to see how yours works out, and if you think of any improvements, do let me know.

Possibly a modification to use a simple 9v plug? I'm not sure of the exact name, but I have a lot of them for my synthesizers, and they're all 9.0v. It should be a pretty simple and cheap mod, yes?

I completely agree. This is an excellent idea, carried out very well... Building one as soon as possible.

 Yes, agree, this is a superbly analysed and executed project.  Solved all sorts of interesting problems to reach the end result.  First class!  Congrats.
