An overview of a new web 2.0 portal that pings the community once a day to see how they're doing (on a scale of 1-4) and then allows people to view the mood of the world from day to day. howyadoing.org will track global mood and opinions and allow users to participate with APIs. The panel will also look at future development tying moods to places, times, groups and events.
