Tweeting Map

Tweeting Map is an experimental near-realtime visualization of public geo-localized tweets. See it in action.

It is composed by two components: tweetingmap_server and tweetingmap_client.

tweetingmap_server

This component establishes a persistent connection with the Twitter Streaming API to feed the client component with data from public geo-localized tweets in realtime.

It is built on the Node.js platform and depends on:

• ntwitter — asynchronous connection to the Twitter Streaming API
• Socket.IO — realtime communication with the client component

tweetingmap_client

This is a pure HTML5, CSS3 and JavaScript interface that depends on the following libraries:

• Socket.IO
• jQuery
• Bootstrap, from Twitter
• Raphaël
• Add to home screen
• mercator-map
