Based on me screwing around with Lexicon for the last few hours, ive noticed a trend: Facebook users are getting happier. Also, they really really like new years time (Christmas -> Jan 1). It appeared to me that the amount of “good day” and other related messages is growing strongly. After telling one of my friends, he barked back “facebook is also growing.” but then when I plugged in bad day, I saw numbers that remained the same – while good days continued to grow stedilly.  What I found even more funny was the two massive spikes, both years, on new years day; Then, a month later, a spike on February 14th. (Valentines Day!) happyfactor.com also reports the same tend data, with users gradually getting happier has 2009 has progressed. This all shocks me, because, are we not in a recession? The global economy is falling, people are being laid off left and right. The amount of “bad days” is staying constant, while good days has grown. The world is getting, perhaps, a bit happier. And the political charts also reveal some interesting data as well. Also interesting: The invention of new words as they have surged to popularity. Ex: The invention of fmylife in February saw an instant spike in FML. Lexicon is fun, as I have discovered!
