\nTweet-o-Meter<\/a> [casa.ucl.ac.uk] is an ongoing research project at the UCL Centre for Advanced Spatial Analysis, and attempts to “further the understanding of the social and temporal dynamics of cities within the Twitter demographic”. <\/p>\n

In practice, this means that an online dashboard-like interface compares the number of tweets (measured in Tweets per Minute or TPM) originating from different cities around the world. Potential questions that could be answered this way include: “Is New York the city that never sleeps? Do Londoners send more Tweets than New Yorkians’? Is Oslo a bigger Tweeter than Munich?”, and so on.<\/p>\n

However, the more original aspect of this project seems to consist of its attempt to offer this information within the public, urban space. The movie below<\/a> shows such a small prototype installation of an “analog” dashboard of the same data. <\/p>\n
