How Would you Visualize 24 Hours of Tweets? [Motion Infographic]

Rather than presenting them in a list, chronologically, or as a mindmap, creative researchers in London have shown what 24 hours of tweets looks like in a motion infographic.

Watching this video gave me the uncanny feeling that Twitter was something alive and organic. What do you think?

Researchers from the Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, University College London are usually focused on transportation modeling and urban sustainability, but they turned their extensive mapping expertise to Twitter this week.
