This is a celebration of the return to a project that had to be put aside in 2012. Previous events that were detected using the WorldMood methodology (aka MoodCompass) include the Arab Spring uprising, the Fukishima event (see TV news video), and a Persian Gulf blockade attempt by Iran.
What is WorldMood? Similar to what is done each day to obtain U.S. mood and market forecasts, top internet search trends from a sampling of countries around the world are being gathered by our MarketMood.net team and processed by geographic analysis software. We currently have enough data to begin a weekly look at the mood of the world on a country by country basis. When looking at weekly scale data (as opposed to monthly) it's difficult, for instance, to tell if an "aggressive" country implies that they are likely to start dropping bombs that week, but it does tell us that there is an elevated risk of a geopolitical escalation from other weeks. We anticipate monthly scale analysis in the early fall. With both weekly and monthly analysis, we will have an even better picture of significant changes to watch for.
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy weekly WorldMood profiles. The first one will be out in a few days!!!
