L’hédonomètre est né du travail de Peter Dodds, Chris Danforth et leur équipe du Computational Story Lab, d'après une technologie de Mitre Corporation. Le programme collecte chaque jour cinquante millions de Tweets et les analyse, sur la base de 10 000 mots indéxés.

La collecte -élargie à Google Trends, à Bit.ly et la BBC- comptera, en supplément à l'anglais, douze langues. L’hédonomètre mesure ainsi les états d'âme. Et justement un biais est constaté : la langue n'est pas neutre et serait même fondamentalement "positive"…
