Tweet-o-Meter: Understanding The Social and Temporal Dynamics Of Cities
Researchers at the UCL Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis have created an online dashboard-like interface, the Tweet-o-Meter, to compare TPM (tweets per minute) being output from from different cities around the world.
Potential questions that could be answered this way include: "Is New York the city that never sleeps? Do Londoners send more Tweets than New Yorkians'? Is Oslo a bigger Tweeter than Munich?", and so on.
Below is video footage of the analog version, taking public tweets and turning it into physical results.
