GoodMorning! is a project by Jer Thorp, a Twitter visualization tool that shows about 11,000 ‘good morning’ tweets over a 24 hour period. Built using processing, using the ‘gathering’ client running for 24 hours collecting 1,500 tweets at a time, the app displays all the tweets using good morning terms and their appropriate locations on the rotating globe.
The project was inspired by the recent discussions about his Just Landed project we mentioned on CAN few weeks back. Whilst the previous projects displays twitter relationships along a two dimensional map, Good Morning uses a 3D globe to represent a global version of the same project.
Jer, as always, has posted an interesting insight into obtaining the data and mapping it using Processing. A worthy read as well as his related post about Just Landed.
