Background for second
The first thing you should do is click point map in the upper left hand corner. The choropleth option is also interesting but not as useful.
Click on the location marker (that looks like a location on google maps) to see what is being tweeted at Temple campus.
Use the marker and the circle to look up specific locations around the world
The bottom of the screen shows how many tweets are in geographic area you are examining. It also shows the frequency of tweets over the last 3 months.
You can also search hashtags and tweets, which you will do a fair amount of in the lab.
1. What are some of the factors that might influence the geographic distribution of the tweets you see?
a. At the world scale?
b. At the scale of the United States?
2. How is this map different than the maps you posted on Packback? Hint: maps can be static or dynamic...
3. What do you like about this map?
a. Do you have any critiques of it? What is missing? What would you add?
4. If you have a twitter account, make a tweet (Wait a few minutes) and see if you can locate it. Is the map picking up your tweet?
5. Explore Temple University by zooming in to the street scale... What are people tweeting about around Temple? This is what I found.
6. What are the most popular hashtags in the world right now?
This is what I found (on 1/30/18)
Click on (view more analytics) on the left - it will give you the analytics of the area that appears on your screen. Consider the following questions.
In the United States?
In another country?
In the town you grew up in?
7. Look for something in a foreign language like the day of the week. What does the geographic distribution like? What does the distribution tell us about language and culture?
8. What is an API? (look it up)
9. How is ‘rest API' being used on the map? Both versions of the map use the same API. Visit here - This is the ‘about,' section I told you about earlier...
10. Pick three key words or hashtags to explore - describe where these tweets are concentrated and take snips of their geographic location. Why do you think they exhibit the geographic pattern you observe?
11. Pick 2 geographic areas. (For example Cleveland and West Hollywood) What are the most popular tweets in these areas? Zoom into the city and use the analytics function...
