Well its been quite a 24 hours with the twitterography from CASA. Soho Mountain has become a new feature of the London landscape with the post on Londonist reaching the top 3 global retweets yesterday. A kind tweet by Stephen Fry helped a lot as did NotCot and todays Metro Newspaper has it on page 3.

Its good to see the research getting recognition in the wider media. These times of new data are revealing new aspects to our cities, we will have more on twitterography via ourselves, CASA and urbantick in the coming months.

If you would like to learn more about the research and become part of the CASA team, we are launching a new MRes in Spatial Analysis and Visualization., applications for October entry are now open…

Over the past few months we have been harvesting geospatial data from Twitter with the aim of creating a series of new city maps based on Twitter data. Via a radius of 30km around New York, London, Paris, Munich we have collated the number of Tweets and created our New City Landscape Maps. The maps created by UrbanTick are stunning, detailing the social networking landscaping.

Pictured above is London, below is New York:

UrbanTick has the full run down with New York, London, Paris and Munich, all available in glorious full screen mode via a Google Maps viewer – head over to take a look at the New City Landscapes.

Thanks got to Steven Gray who did the coding and Fabian over at Urban Tick for converting the data into maps, they are a good team.
