For journalists, writers, analysts: Twitter Heat Maps for studies
1 point by kiosan on Oct 15, 2013 | hide | past | favorite
Hi, My team recently launched service to monitor Twitter for keywords. It is available at http://vertabox.com

Last year we did twitter heat map that was covered by top media such as Mashable.

It was because of interesting interpretation of the data. We scanner 'good morning' and 'fuck you' terms. It was interpreted as study to define where most polite and rudest Americans live.

Now I want to ask community for new interpretations and study ideas.

I offer to run our scanner for any keyword within any country and collect data for 1 week. You can use result information to do your own study and analytics. Our system scan Twitter for tweets with given keyword, extract top media, top users.

It is possible to define two terms for one project and to have comparison map and charts. Example - http://vertabox.com/projects/love-you-vs-fuck-you/compare?date=2013-10-13

Email me at obondar gmail com with your ideas on what study you would like to do. I will set up scanner for you and will provide all the results and support in your study.

Please share this to whom it might be interesting.
