Facebook - What’s on your mind?

Facebook Data Team

People use status updates to share what’s on their minds, to tell others what they’re doing, and to gather feedback from friends. The different ways people use status updates form some interesting patterns. In this study, we looked at the usage of words in different “word categories” in status updates. This led us to discover some patterns in how people use status updates differently, and how their friends interact with different status updates.

"--- Interestingly, the emotional content of status updates also varies depending on the time of the day. Positive emotional word use is higher in the mornings, when the corresponding usage of negative emotional words is low. Negative word use increases as the day goes on, as positivity decreases.---"
