Good Morning | Just Landed | Twitter Visualizations
GoodMorning! is a Twitter visualization tool created by Jer Thorp that shows about 11,000 ‘good morning’ tweets over a 24 hour period, rendering a simple sample of Twitter activity around the globe. The tweets appear as blocks and are colour-coded. Green tweets are early in the morning, orange tweets are at about 9am, and red tweets are later in the morning. Black tweets are ‘out-of-time’ messages (sent at times that aren’t in the morning at that location).
‘Just Landed‘ is another piece by Jer that finds tweets containing that phrase, parse out the location they’ve just landed in, along with the home location as listed on their Twitter profile, and use this to map out travel in the ‘Twittersphere’. The visualization is created in Processing and was originated as a way of thinking around H1N1 flu virus epidemic modeling.
