The above image is from a recent study done by the New England Complex Systems Institute, "Sentiment in New York City: A High Resolution Spatial and Temporal View." To paraphrase the authors, 'we looked at the smileys in a bunch of geotagged tweets and made some pretty maps.'

It's an unfortunate color-scale they chose, but cyan (light turqoise) corresponds to "positive sentiment" and magenta to "negative sentiment." Times Square (A1) pops out on their map as a happy place, while Riker's Island (D1) and Maspeth Creek (E1, an urban waterway known for its pollution) have lots a sad faces. Obviously if mining tweets by robotically-determined mood can identify the Center of the Universe (Times Square) and a prison, this analysis has value.

Unfortunately missing from the paper (which is not peer-reviewed, for the record) is the cut-off, below which a census tract did not have enough tweets to be analyzed. Also, it would be interesting to normalize each tract by its population density, just to see how many people were going out of their way to write a really happy or sad tweet.
