daydreaming

Here are some visualizations of Obama Twitter activity spreading across the country during and after the election. The visuals track mentions of him and can loosely be thought of as tracking “buzz”. Twitter background activity is gold and Obama is blue. Done with ruby-processing.

Lately I’ve been visualizing data from the Twitter public timeline using ruby-processing. Here are some maps of the twittersphere, each one is made from several thousand randomly sampled tweets from a particular day….I hope you find them both beautiful and enlightening.
