New App gives Early Warning of Mean Messages




Computer scientists have developed a mobile phone app that can predict the tone of incoming messages after a user reads them so that they don't get caught off guard by angry or hostile words. The android phone app “stress @ work” created at the University of Portsmouth colour codes messages so people have time to prepare themselves. It integrates itself with the social media sites like facebook, twitter and the rest. Nice messages are coded green while negative messages are designated red and neutral is blue.

It is designed in English Language. So if you inbox on my facebook or DM me on twitter an insult in Igala language, I might still have that heart attack.

The developers hope to make this app available for free downloading from the android marketplace by the end of June and on other platforms within the next academic year.
