- Hi everyone, in today's video
we're going to be taking a look at
The One Million Tweet Map.
It maps the latest geolocalized tweets
delivered by the Twitter Stream API.
The map data is updated in real time, yes, real time,
which is very handy for social media intelligence.
And it keeps only the last one million tweets.
Each second about 50 new tweets are added
and 50 oldest tweets are removed
to keep the same number of tweets on the map.
So why not higher amounts?
Well, they are limited by the Twitter Stream,
but they say they can go much higher.
To put it matter-of-factly, this map deals with big data.
So without further ado, let's get started
taking a look at The One Million Tweet Map.
All of your filters are gonna be here over on
the left-hand side, so let's focus our attention on that.
I'll zoom in a little here.
So, the first thing we see is the tweets since page load.
And it's going up rather quickly.
In the next part we have a legend
and the circles that you see on the map are clusters.
The little red dots you see firing off on the map
are the latest tweets, below that we have filters.
We have a cluster view and we have a heat map view.
If we switch over to heat map you can see a big blob
of different colors and if we zoom in,
sorry, zoom in a little bit we can see
that the east coast is very active with tweets going on.
And the next part we have, I'll switch back to cluster,
'cause it's easy to see the numbers.
Actually you can see the numbers.
The next part we have are the keyword filter,
so we could do terrorism.
And it'll filter out only to those tweets
talking about terrorism worldwide.
So I can go over here to London, England,
I can go over to Stockholm,
I can go all the way here to India.
I can click on this eight cluster here
and it'll zoom in for me and I can click on the number four
and it'll show me those four tweets right there
that are talking about terrorism.
So you get the idea, right?
So it's a global big data manipulation of big data.
So let's zoom out again.
Go back over here to our middle,
and we'll take out terrorism.
So let's do terrorism.
Oops.
Alright, a lot of tweets firing off,
but not too many people talking about hashtag terrorism.
Now the next thing you see down here
is the five most popular hashtags.
So if I were to move in a little bit here, zoom in
and a little bit more, you see that the five most popular
hashtags are job, hiring, careerarc, jobs, hospitality
and you'll see that there's a little number on that.
So that's the number of tweets that are talking about that
and if we click on hiring you'll see on the map
that the number does change, the clusters do change
so it focuses right on the hashtag hiring.
The next one is time filtering, so we can say
in the last five minutes, the last 10 minutes,
all the way to the last six hours,
show me the tweets that match hashtag hiring.
And let's just do the last five minutes,
see if there's anything, and there you go.
And if we click on those tweets and we zoom in,
and we're hiring and you can just go through those tweets.
And then the last one is to reset the map
and to get more information about Maptimize.
So that is a quick look at The One Million Tweet Map.
Very useful, I think, for social media, intelligence,
investigations, security, brand protection,
all of those great things that we come to love
when we're looking at big data.
So thanks very much for watching.
