How do you feel? Sites organized by mood
December 14th, 2008 | Published in Uncategorized
Musicovery is a customized webradio service that lets users search for music not just by genres, but by mood as well. Are you looking for energetic, calm, positive or dark music?
Following Musicovery’s idea, I Feel… city guides let users add and recommend places and things to do in a city by mood. Where do people go in New York, when they feel romantic? What about Londoners – what do they do, when they feel hungover? I Feel… which is currently in beta, is now available for New York, London and Toronto.
The site’s based on a pretty simple Google Maps mashup with a cutesey look. But the organization model makes it interesting, and a great exercise in information architecture. What other sites organized by mood or other non-traditional model do you know?
