Zanimiv projekt, ki se je začel že pred 10 leti: pobrati vse stavke na spletu, ki vsebujejo sintagmo: “čutim” (“I feel” in “I am feeling”). Tako lahko primerjamo:

series of playful interfaces, the feelings can be searched and sorted across a
number of demographic slices, offering responses to specific questions like…
