The Revolution Will Be Variously Represented

Jeff Clark has made a word cloud of tweets from Iran:

iran election,iran,politics

Says Clark:
This is a Shaped Word Cloud created from the text of approximately 84,000 tweets containing the term #iranelection. The larger the word the more frequently it appears in the text. As usual you can click on a word to see the current twitter search results.
He's also maintaining a running tweet narrative that uses an algorithm to create a sort of synecdoche of tweets from Iran. Very interesting.
