This is a visualization based on twitter updates during Obama's inauguration. Simple help:

  • The time slider will start in play mode. Press the pause or play button to stop and start it or grab the handle and drag it.
  • Use the buttons in the top left to zoom or move around the map. You can also just drag the map with your mouse.
  • Use the 'US' or 'World' buttons to show the corresponding region.
  • Use your mouse wheel to zoom as well.
  • Hover over a circle to see the twitter message.
  • Enter text in either of the 2 colored boxes at the bottom left to filter the messages. The circles are colored based on which text they match. If they match both then they are colored white.
