Imagine the following situation: you are studying a boring paper, while sitting on a table in a hot room and the temperature outside is around 30 degrees. It is clear that everyone wants to be outside: the pool, beach or park are better options than reading that boring paper. However, you have to do it, otherwise you will fail the exam. During studying, you take a quick look at your Facebook profile and what do you see? More messages and updates than usual!
Is there a tendency between sunny weather and updates on Facebook? When I look to my profile, there is a significant tendency: in the best week of 2011, I updated more messages than usual and in one of the rainiest weeks of this year I only placed two updates.
What kind of messages do you see when the sun is shining? 'chilling at the Dutch beach', 'drinking a couple of beers in Rotterdam', 'playing some football in the park' or: 'enjoying the weather'. In all the updates is a clear similarity: they are describe the weather conditions. What kind of messages do you see when the weather is rainy or cold? Nothing about the weather conditions, only when they are extreme.
Despite you should think that people will go enjoy the sun when it is good weather outside, people want to show their friends that they are in the sun. In my opinion a weird trend, because it gives a colored image to a person.
Oh and don't worry about me: I took my school stuff outside as you can see on the picture ;)
