http://internet.dawnofthegeeks.com/?lang=de The above site makes use of Twitter to find out the emotional status of the internet in various languages. English and Spanish have "happy" at the top of the list. The French have "seul" ("lonely in English) and the Germans have "angst" ("frightened" in english). Maybe the Google Translation is off, maybe it's not. The results are interesting. I'll be continuing to add more languages to see what emotions are most expressed by the people who speak them.
