Edinburgh Twestival social visualisation

We aimed to use Twitter to track, in real time, the socialising and networking that happened on the night.

As the evening progressed, people sent direct messages to a twitter account set up specifically for this purpose with details of who they were talking to. We retrieved the data through the twitter API and plotted these connections live on a projection screen at the event.

This video is a sped-up replay of all the connections that were made on the night.
