Recently, there has been an increasing interest in the keyword, emotion, in many areas including information technology. Previous research mostly used emotion as the input of the contents or to present the changing contents based on the user's emotional states. In this research, a new platform that allows sharing each other's emotional state and a couple of prototype contents utilizing the platforms are developed. There are two different ways to build such emotion sharing platforms either sharing the emotional states in real-time or not. We used stateless server for the asynchronous emotion sharing, while stateful server is utilized for the real-time emotion sharing. This paper explains the systems architecture of both stateful and stateless servers and describes the prototype applications. Content developers should be able to utilize the platforms developed in this paper.
