Twitter on 11.11.11

The above video was posted on the official Twitter blog and is an interesting use of geospacial visualization over time.

A few things you can gain from the video:

  • You can see where Twitter has it’s main influence based on where the 1’s are.
  • The initial wave at 11:11AM in the morning sweeps across the whole globe, but the secondary wave at 11:11PM only really makes a splash in North and Central America. My presumption is because on those continents they use the AM/PM designation vs. other nations that use the 24-hour clock.

Hat Tip to @HashTagOnions for the link.
