Gilad Lotan has scoured twitter and collected data during the period of the Iranian Presidential Election & following uprisings, and compiled them into an interactive exploration tool called ‘ReTweet Revolution’.
The ReTweet Revolution applet displays 372 of the most popular threads extracted from a pool of over 230,000 messages posted on Twitter between June 14th and June 24th. It is important to remember that this is only a sampling of the Twitter data polled from the public timeline at regular intervals. Nevertheless, the content is substantial enough to identify trends and get a sense for people’s practices.
