Hate vs. Love as measured by twitter posts per hour today.
Love wins. Perhaps people are feeling the love more today or perhaps we are more likely to talk about love than hate.
This chart was made free from Trendrr, a website where one can “track the popularity and awareness of trends across a variety of inputs, ranging from social networks, to blog buzz and video views downloads, all in real time.”
I find this type of service interesting as we start to try and understand ourselves better via what we say and do on the web. Not only am I excited about exploring our identity in aggregate (as in the chart above), but also individually (through our individual use of services like Netflix, YouTube, Pandora, Last.fm, Hulu.com, etc).  Think about how much there is yet to learn about our individual and collective habits online.
