Flickr Time, The MOMMENT. At that time, what were you doing.

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. 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! I needed some kind of colouring that would show the front of the wave – I ended up setting the colour of the blocks according to how far the time block was away from 9am, local time. Originally, I wanted to include the text in the tweets, but after a few very messy renders, I dropped that idea. There are some inherent problems with this visualization.
