Facebook Graphs Show Relative Frequency of World Cup Keywords in Status Updates

Graphs displaying the prevalence of World Cup-related keywords in status updates have been posted by Facebook’s own Page to a photo album called Heartbeat of the World Cup. While the charts are entertaining, the lack of a Y-axis detailing the actual volume of status messages featuring a keyword limits interpretation of the data.

The “Heartbeat of the World Cup” graphs look very similar to those created by Facebook’s now deactivated Lexicon, a visualization tool that charted the frequency of keywords in wall posts.
