GoodMorning! GoodMorning! is a Twitter visualization tool that shows about 11,000 ‘good morning’ tweets over a 24 hour period, rendering a simple sample of Twitter activity around the globe. The tweets are colour-coded: green blocks are early tweets, orange ones are around 9am, and red tweets are later in the morning. Black blocks are ‘out of time’ tweets which said good morning (or a non-english equivalent) at a strange time in the day. Click on the image above to see North America in detail (click on the ‘all sizes’ button to see the high-res version, which is 6400×3600), or watch the video below to see the ‘good morning’ wave travel around the globe: GoodMorning! I’ll admit that this isn’t a particularly useful visualization. The first task was to gather 24 hours worth of good morning tweets. I’d already decided to embrace the visual cliche that is the spinning globe. In my first attempts, I coloured the tweet blocks according to the size of the tweet. GoodMorning!
