Moodgeist
Moodgeist is my personal research project and an experiment to show what’s currently happening in the “Skype Land” and what’s the Skype community’s “collective state of mind”. I created Moodgeist to get firsthand experience of how to make a client-server web service, and to gain expertise in creating client applications in Objective-C on Mac and in Visual Basic on Windows, and practice creating and maintaining a server application written in Django and Python.
Technically, Moodgeist consists of two parts. “pinger” is the program that sits in the computers of the users who have chosen to install it, and “pings” over the data from their Skype contact lists to the Moodgeist server. “server” is moodgeist.com — it collects and stores the pinged data and publishes it for everyone to see and use.
