Visualizing Twitter as Obama became president
On Jan 20 2009, Barack Hussein Obama officially became 44th president of USA with a beautiffuly written inaugural speech. But whats interesting is how the twitter was buzzing with related news tweets worldwide.Guys at flowingdata.com have visualized how excited was twittersphere starting from early Moring morning, with huge activity on tuesday. You can check out the visualization of Twitter here.
Another interesting point to note about Obama’s speech is that “Hope” is the most used word after “Change”. Words like “common”,”generation”, “prosperity” and “world” featured prominently but no use of words like “Policy” and “recession”.
Here is the visual representation of the speech generated by http://www.wordle.net :
