With hundreds of add-on tools, Twitter certainly has plenty of ways you can analyze its data. I set out to find the best tools that I would recommend for you to track and compare your own Tweets, as well as examine the growth of followers and when you actually send out your 140-character missives. My two faves are TweetStats and Twittercounter. As you are resting from your Thanksgiving feast, you might want to try them out, along with several others that I will show you. There are other tools that involve "sentiment analysis," being able to examine what people are Tweeting about or the attitude they are expressing in their tweets. Some of these tools are dirt simple: you enter the Twitter ID or IDs of the appropriate people and wait for them to create their reports.

You might also want to review an article that I wrote last month about 17 alternatives to Klout for other services that go beyond Twitter, or that attempt to measure some kind of reach or influence in social media.

Apple Presents a New iPad Gesturing-Based Video Editing Toolbar. Apple Presents a Robust Gesturing-based Video Editing Toolbar for iPad According to Apple's new patent documentation, a user will be able to perform gestures on a future version of an iPad display that will directly or indirectly manipulate, control, modify, move, actuate, initiate or generally affect graphical elements such as cursors, icons, media files, lists, text, all or portions of images, or the like within the GUI.

Gestures, in general, could take many forms. For example, a gesture could take the form of a geometric pattern (e.g., half-circle, circle, square, triangle, etc.), a symbol (e.g., check mark, question mark, simple arrow with any shaped terminator, caret, etc.), letters, predetermined patterns, user programmed patterns, and combinations thereof. The gesture 212 shown in FIG. 2 could take the form of a closed loop that encloses an object. Apple's patent FIG. 2 also shows video taken on an iPhone being transferred to an iPad for more robust editing.

Nommé en septembre président de l'office français pour l'intégration et l'immigration (OFII), le médiatique avocat Arno Klarsfeld est de passage aujourd'hui dans la métropole lilloise où il visitera un centre d'accueil des demandeurs d'asile (CADA). > Lire aussi l'article du 28/10/2011 : « Arno Klarsfeld : le « renvoi de Roms » dans leur pays est "un mal nécessaire" » - Que pensez-vous de la circulaire discutée jusqu'au sein de l'UMP qui restreint la possibilité pour les étudiants étrangers de travailler en France ensuite ? « Le principe en lui-même ne me paraît pas choquant en temps de crise. On dit juste qu'un employeur doit d'abord regarder parmi les Français ou les étrangers en situation régulière - ce qui exclut toute préférence nationale - si quelqu'un est apte à occuper cet emploi avant de se tourner vers un étudiant étranger. » - D'après Christian Salomé de l'Auberge des migrants, rien qu'à Calais, 120 demandeurs d'asile sont à la rue.

Overview Tools to aid people in making sense of the information quality of online informational video are essential for media consumers seeking to be well informed. Videolyzer addresses the information quality problem in video by allowing politically motivated bloggers or journalists to analyze, collect, and share criticisms of the information quality of online political videos. The interface innovates by providing a fine-grained and tightly coupled interaction paradigm between the timeline, the time-synced transcript, and annotations.

It also incorporates automatic textual and video content analysis to suggest areas of interest for further assessment by a person. Paper N.

Originally posted at visual.ly Ten years ago, I created the first in what would become a hugely popular series of annual visualizations of the federal budget, “Death and Taxes.” It was, in retrospect, garbage: There was no reason for it to be anything but garbage. Unbalanced design; no attention to typography. Back then, I wasn’t a designer and I didn’t know anything about the federal government. (My day job was selling faux vintage bric-a-brac to identity deficient 20-somethings at Urban Outfitters.)

It was 2004 and infographics wasn’t even a word. But if you can’t be the best at something, be the first. The image became a brief internet hit two years later, in 2006, and I started doing one each year. Along the way, I became known as an infographics guy, which developed into some great opportunities and partnerships. Fortunately, around that time I was approached by Nathaniel of Time Plots about continuing the posters’ production.

Critiquing King Abdullah: How Breaking A Taboo Could Help Reform at The Black Iris of Jordan. Since the advent of the Arab Awakening, and the subsequent spotlight hovering over Jordan, one of the most frequent questions I get asked by foreigners interested in what’s going on here is the taboo of criticizing HM King Abdullah. I’ve found this question to be quite curious as it indicates that even non-Jordanians who are observers of local politics have perceived a shift in tone.

It may go without saying that one of the advantages that has presented itself amidst this year’s regional upheaval has been the breaking of taboos and red lines. In Jordan, the monarchy has always been the ultimate red line. I’ve actually seen people get away with insulting God in this fairly conservative country, but avoid even a shred of criticism of the King. I also view this question with some irony, as the King has expressed on more than one occasion that he himself is not above criticism. Whether people believe his proclamations to be genuine or not is besides the point.

Things wordy, geeky, and webby Since taking a class that discussed Edward Tufte‘s work, I’ve been fascinated by turning information into visual data. His site contains many examples that you could easily spend hours on the site. I have. Plus, I spent several days browsing sites with articles, resources, and examples of infovis (information visualization) in action.

It’s not just about presenting data in a presentation or making things colorful. Infovis also helps us find and understand things quicker With the growing implementation of electronic dashboards, we need to learn how to create effective visual representations of data to make the most of dashboard technology. It’s a struggle for me as I haven’t practiced this process or created any charts in a long time.

Dataviz et débat parlementaire : mon intervention au workshop #opendata. Jeudi dernier, j’intervenais dans le cadre du workshop #opendata organisé par Microsoft France et RSLN Mag. Le programme de la conférence est ici. Les débats qui s’y sont tenus étaient d’une remarquable qualité, avec la participation notamment de Nigel Shadbolt, un des pères du data.gov.uk, et d’autres acteurs de l’opendata français et anglosaxons.

Le riche compte rendu réalisé par RSLN Mag, façon Storify, est disponible ici Crédits : RSLN ; Titre : Caroline Goulard - Dataveyes - Opendata - RSLN - 17 mars 2011 Pour l’occasion, je me suis livrée à un petit exercice d’anticipation, comme sept autres « défricheurs » de l’ouverture des données publiques. Le scénario était : « 2020 : toutes les données sont libérées. J’ai travaillé sur les données issues des comptes rendu des débats parlementaires et des textes réglementaires.

Forest monitoring - there's an app for that (coming soon) The team behind FORMA (some members of which also founded REDD Metrics) has been working hard to generate and share rapidly updated data on forest clearing for dozens of countries in the humid tropics.

We've tried graphs, cool animated Powerpoint presentations ( example ), and the like, but as any data junkie knows, raw datasets usually do not provide immediately actionable information. So as we prepare a major update to the FORMA data, instead of just dumping geotiffs on a server, emailing our friends a huge time series dataset, or setting up a fancy GIS server, we're going mobile! That is, thanks to support from the World Bank's Innovation Fund we're readying a simple mobile app to allow technical and non-technical users alike to query and visualize the latest FORMA data (Android/iPhone/desktop), and collect field data in response (Android 2.3+ only).

Build your own map using Fusion Tables and Javascript. In developing the mobile app described in an earlier blogpost , I learned a lot about using Javascript and Google Fusion Tables , Google's handy data publishing and visualization tool. So in this post, I'm going to show how to use jQuery 's $.get function to query a specific table and add the result to a map, as shown here. [Update: Check out the comments for an explanation of why you might want to do this.] Map Data Imagery ©2012 TerraMetrics Things to keep in mind: I'll be using this query throughout this post: SELECT p201012 , lat , lon FROM 1043910 LIMIT 100 For the curious, this query retrieves the first hundred records from table 1043910, which contains data on forest clearing activity in Indonesia generated using satellite data and the FORMA algorithm. p201012 refers to the probability (0-100) of clearing as of December 2010 (we're up to June 2011 now, but it's not in the table).

One row returned by that query looks like this (probability, lat, lon): 68,-7.870833,129.6253 Getting data. Lonely Planet Best in Travel 2012 | Top cities, countries to visit. Darwin has been named one of the world's top 10 cities to visit in 2012 by Lonely Planet. Darwin has been named as one of the top 10 cities to visit in the world in Lonely Planet's Best in Travel 2012. The book, released on Monday, says the city that was once a frontier town of brawling fishermen and rednecks is now a place with a "pumping nocturnal scene, magical markets and restaurants, and world class wilderness areas".

It says now is the time to go to beat the crowds to the city's redeveloped Waterfront Precinct and before east coast galleries snap up the indigenous art that is on offer. Northern Territory Tourism Minister Malarndirri McCarthy says the accolade confirms the city has the "X-factor" that travellers seek. Advertisement “Darwin is now a must visit holiday destination for travellers around the globe and the only destination in Australia to be handpicked by Lonely Planet.” In the list of top 10 countries to visit, Uganda was named No. 1 ahead of Burma and Ukraine.
