Emoji Cities, created by Smart Destinations, uses Twitter data to map happiness across the globe. It also shows which cities are laughing or crying, which are sleepy and which are blowing kisses, by listing the most popular emojis, hashtags, tweets, trends and other information for each. The data is updated every single day to show changes in sentiment and feeling, ranking the top emojis and most positive cities on a global scale.
By also showing what is being talked about in each individual city, listing the top five trending hashtags and the five most commonly tagged accounts, people can see just how widely subjects are discussed by the world.
Smart Destinations, which offers multiple attraction passes for more than 30 cities, created the tool to map the happiest places around the world.
As the tool updates daily, positivity and overall sentiment will change in line with major events to provide a true snapshot of what the world and those in specific countries or cities are feeling and saying.
Emoji Cities includes expert comment from authorities and academics around the world, providing insight into emerging trends and patterns, and cultural and international differences.
