“A visual exploration of Twitter conversation threads in the days following the Iranian Elections of June 2009 “ By: Gilad Lotan
“Retweet Revolution” visualizes the 372 most popular tweets over the span of 10 days regarding the recent Iranian elections. The interactive applet allows users to see a comparison of the relative tweet popularity, as well as the transformations and networks of retweets. The result is an activist narrative, facilitated by a simple yet empowering technology.
Also, I came across an interesting article which gives some further info on twitter visualizaitons during the recent Iranian elections.
