Check it out first http://www.wefeelfine.org/.
And then read how it works (from the we feel fine site):
The We Feel Fine data collection engine automatically scours the Internet every ten minutes, harvesting human feelings from a large number of blogs.
We Feel Fine scans blog posts for occurrences of the phrases “I feel” and “I am feeling”.
Once a sentence containing “I feel” or “I am feeling” is found, the system looks backward to the beginning of the sentence, and forward to the end of the sentence, and then saves the full sentence in a database.
Once saved, the sentence is scanned to see if it includes one of about 5,000 pre-identified “feelings”.
