Late Night Video — When Twitter Says Good Morning

Filed in National by on October 24, 2009

Fascinating visualization of data from blprt, this video’s creator:

GoodMorning! is a Twitter visualization tool which shows about 11,000 tweets collected over a 24 hour period between August 20th and 21st. The tweets were harvested to find people saying ‘good morning’ in English as well as several other languages.

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).

    I actually would have loved to see this on a flat map of the world, rather than a globe. It would have been cool to see the waves of “Good” Mornings” crossing over and over. I also wish they had a key of some sort.
