Video requires Quicktime.
When I first encountered Twitter, I immediately realized that it could serve as a seemingly boundless source of data on daily human habits and sociological trends — a real-time zeitgeist pulse, in a sense. My first project to make use of this data is TwitterViz, a desktop application built for AIR that performs simple data visualization of Twitter data. Over time, it allows the user to discover trends in his or her friends’ daily activities, including answers to questions like: “Which of my friends are early risers?” “Which are night owls?” “What do they eat most often for lunch?” Etc.
