Global Twitter Heartbeat Project: US Presidential Election

In a collaboration with SGI and the University of Illinois' CyberInfrastructure and Geospatial Information (CIGI) Laboratory we debuted the first-ever realtime combined population, tone, and geographic analysis of the live Twitter Decahose (10% of all tweets globally), creating a realtime map of global dreams and fears. As one demonstration, we visualized the United States Presidential Election through the eyes of Twitter.
