Feelings, nothing more than feelings

I Rate My Day doesn't have a plethora of features, but lets you rate your day and displays graphs and charts.

Emotionr has a unique slider bar that you use to share how you feel at the moment on a scale from 1 to 10. There are badges and widgets that you can add to your website that will share how you feel whenever you update your status. There's an ambitious World Happiness section that tracks how you, the USA and the world itself feels. I don't know what you're supposed to do with that information, but there you go.

The objects of my affection

There are a ton of sites that let users rate and rank things such as movies, books, restaurants, hotels, etc. They allow us to share how we feel about our favorite things. Perhaps these services will be blending and merging with these new emotional micro-blogging services. Here are some of the sites that let people show the world what they love most:

- WeHeartPlaces lets you share which places you love the most in the world. Check out Mashable's full review of We Heart Places Here.

- I Heart Movies lets you show which movies you dig the most. You can read a full review of I Heart Movies here on Mashable.

- Blippr goes a bit further and lets you share your favorite books, movies, music and more!

Mixing business with pleasure

This whole touchy-feely mess has even spread into the business community and corporate America. As I discussed in a recent post, many sites and businesses have set up shop with feedback services whose sole reason for being is to discover exactly how you feel about those sites and businesses. Are you happy with their new product or service? What don't you like about it or even us? It's become one big ole Dr. Phil-fest.
