Discover the world’s first Global Mood Clocks, that in addition to telling time, reflect the “mood” of a city by showing the dominant colour from the latest location-tagged photo uploads to Flickr and the top Google search and Twitter trending keywords, all in real time. The app, created by Grey Canada, is a virtual update to the classic office “wall of clocks” decor that displays local time for multiple global cities. The Mac & PC Adobe AIR version makes for a sharp looking office desktop background, while keeping users up to speed on what's happening in a diverse selection of cities around the world. Global Mood Clocks will be released by the Apple app store for iPhone in January 2011.
