A Twitter-based study finds by the time Friday rolls around, most of us are feeling pretty good.
Cornell University researchers analyzed tweets from more than two-million people over two years in 84 countries.
Sociology professor Michael Macey who led the study found that we’re also happiest in the morning.
“You see the morning peak, then deteriorate in the course of the day and rebound in the evening,” Macey explained.
He said they used a computer program that searched twitter for words indicating positive and negative mood.
