Tweet topic explorer: what do people actually tweet about?
Posted: May 11, 2011 Filed under: Data visualization, Everything social Leave a comment
The Tweet topic explorer is a bubble chart illustrating the most popular themes discussed by a specific user-chosen Twitter account.
In a nutshell:
‘This tool retrieves recent tweets from the given ID and displays the most common words in those tweets (using word cluster diagrams). The area of the circles is proportional to word frequency. Words that are most often used together are grouped and given the same color. It also shows the other twitter users that are mentioned most frequently in their tweets.’
