This webapp shows the most popular hashtags on Twitter this week and how they are connected. Features include: a) Zooming: Mouse scroll or shift with up/down keys; b) Panning: Click and drag or cursor keys; c) Selection: Click the text of a hashtag to set the focus on that tag, click the background to deselect; d) Drill-down: Click the info sign on a selected hashtag to drill down to top tweets/users; e) Navigation: Use the browser back button to step back through the history of selections. The image is derived from a sample of 1% of all Twitter traffic (about 20 million tweets) and the formatting used in the diagram is as follows: 1) Text size reflects the popularity of the tag; 2) Line thickness reflects the number of times 2 tags appeared together; and 3) Line colour is used to identify different clusters of related tags. This will be added to the tools section of Research Resources Subject Tracer™ Information Blog. This will be added to Social Informatics Subject Tracer™.
