...more like #TwoFacedbook, am I right U guys?: Would scrubbing posts with sad or angry words from someone’s Facebook feed make that person write fewer gloomy updates? They tweaked the algorithm by which Facebook sweeps posts into members’ news feeds, using a program to analyze whether any given textual snippet contained positive or negative words. Some people were fed primarily neutral to happy information from their friends; others, primarily neutral to sad. Then everyone’s subsequent posts were evaluated for affective meanings. The upshot? Yes, verily, social networks can propagate positive and negative feelings! The other upshot: Facebook intentionally made thousands upon thousands of people sad.
