The MoodBase Website is a complete epitome of the statement “Content is the King”…And you will not be able to completely realize this if you can’t navigate the site well.

We’ll it started by Eran finding Oren via LinkedIn and setting a meeting in a local coffee place. Eran had an idea for a startup company in the space of advertising and emotions. We brought in Roee and worked on a pilot with a large publisher. As part of the pilot we developed code to analyze web pages based on its comments. After a few weeks of work the coding was done and we successfully categorized content from the web portal to basic moods such as funny. The BizDev never went through, but we noticed that we spent hours looking at the results and checking out the pages we classified. It was then when we realized that we have developed something great and that we should share this with web surfers like you. We have been working hard in past year to put up our site with the goal to let others enjoy the mood based discovery  experience we are so passionate about.
