The VIZoSPHERE

A new diversion of mine: mapping twitter accounts related to information visualization with gephi:

This map shows 1645 twitter accounts related to the topic of information visualization. The accounts were determined as follows: For a subjective selection of “seed accounts”[1], the twitter API was queried for followers and friends. In order to be included into the map, a user account needed to have at least 5 links (i.e. follow or being followed) to one of these accounts. The size of the network nodes indicates the number of followers within this network.

[1] The seed accounts were; @moritz_stefaner, @datavis, @infosthetics, @wiederkehr, @FILWD, @janwillemtulp, @visualisingdata, @jcukier, @mccandelish, @flowingdata, @mslima, @blprnt, @pitchinteractiv, @bestiario140, @eagereyes, @feltron, @stamen, @thewhyaxis

revisit: real time twitter visualization

Just a quick post to let you know that I put a new project online: revisit – a real–time visualization of the last few hundred tweets around a topic. In contrast to the usual twitter walls, it try to capture some of the temporal dynamics as well as the conversational aspects of twitter. Scroll down for customization options! Hope you like it — it will be at display at the see conference tomorrow, but for those of you who are not there, here is the live version so you can see what you are missing :)

Hourly shots + delicious + twitter = fun

I am having fun here with a little custom made Flash app that reads • hourly shots from my built-in webcam • my twitter posts • and my delicious bookmarks

and puts it all together. Bit messy at the moment, but I am working on it.
