The project explores ways to express an emotion, positive or negative, felt by community members on a self-help site. Demonstrated on the website Tiny Buddha.
'Say Thanks' is an inventory that allows a community member to express his feelings on reading a post by another member. For example, to express uplifting feelings like optimism or feeling light, metaphors like a half-full glass and a floating feather are used to tweak the post temporarily.
Optimism: Positive portions of the post can be highlighted
Illumination: Throwing 'light' on the matter
Focus: Seeing things clearly
Decluttering: Sorting things out
