Facebook is playing with your feelings

Were you feeling particularly happy recently? Exuberant? Or did you feel the glass was recently more empty than usual?

Maybe facebook tweaked you to feel more up or down by showing you more positive or more negative posts of your friends. Shock!

Indeed, facebook conducted a psychology study with 700 000 users. Not surprisingly, the study found that the more positive posts they show their users, the more likely they are to post positively nuanced status posts, and vice versa.

Now, one suggestion: why don't we all share a little more joy, generosity and love - online and offline - and with or without facebook, the world will be a brighter place.
