"Just Landed" Twitter Visualization

Just Landed - 61 Hours from blprnt

Fascinating twitter visualization. It's scanning tweetfeeds for the phrase "Just landed in..." or "Just arrived in..." and tracks the location the Tweet was sent from.

The user's original location is found from their profile and an airplane flight path pops up on the 3D map of the world.

Looks pretty clear in which country people are using the twitter the most : USA is on the 1st place, Europe comes after. Might be useful for the News companies.

Identity Fragmentation

"This is by no means a complete model. I worry that I’ll never be able to effectively manage all the pieces of me that I’m absent-mindedly handing out." Francis Shanahan Identity Fragmentation [Nov 2007, no Twitter yet!]
