“Good Morning!” tweets from across the globe in an awesome visualization

Color coded tweets from across the globe. Green tweets are early in the morning, orange tweets are at about 9am, and red tweets are later in the morning. Black tweets are the lazy b*stards that are waking up in the afternoon their time. :)

What’s beautiful is the tweets were harvested to find people saying ‘good morning’ not just in English but several other languages too.

Built in Processing using Twitter4J, and a home-brewed client for MetaCarta’s geo-parsing APIs. For more information, visit – blog.blprnt.com
