New All Close The Mapbox

This calendar week MapBox released a serial of point map visualisations of Twitter data. The maps explore every geotagged Tweet since September 2011 "revealing demographic, cultural, in addition to social patterns downward to urban centre marking detail, across the entire world."


My personal favorite visualisation is Mobile Devices, a point map displaying the build of outcry upward used when people purpose an official Twitter application.

The map reveals a actually interesting blueprint across American cities that seems to propose that the iPhone is to a greater extent than pop inwards higher socio-economic neighborhoods, spell Android phones predominate inwards areas amongst lower socio-economic residents. In concern neighborhoods the Blackberry seems to endure the device of choice.  

Across the residue of the globe at that spot doesn't look to endure such a split upward inwards the economical marking of Apple in addition to Android device owners, spell the Blackberry seems to endure pop inwards concern areas across the globe.


The Locals in addition to Tourists map highlight areas of cities pop amongst locals in addition to places where tourists visit. The map shows the locations of Tweets sent past times locals (those who post service inwards 1 urban centre for 1 consecutive month) in addition to tourists (whose tweets are centered inwards only about other city).

This map provides a fascinating insight into locations that are pop amongst tourists. For example, inwards this screenshot (above) of my neighborhood inwards London you lot tin clearly build out the 2012 London Olympics stadium.


Languages of Twitter is a map that displays where dissimilar languages are used inwards Tweets. Different languages bring been given a distinct color on the map. One obvious purpose for this map is to visualise areas amongst large immigrant communities.
