• Tweeps of New York

  Tweets from New York around lunch time Friday, mapped on the Clima.me tool.  Notice that China town is a bit empty?

  

  
• Mapping tweets at Macworld

  Tweets clustering in San Francisco Macworld, mapped with the clima.me geo-portal

  Macworld is meeting in San Francisco.  You can clearly see where the meeting is at by look at the darkest and most clustered tweets on the map.  Each red bird shows a location where a tweet has been made over the past hour.  The darker the bird the more tweets made there.  You can see around the Moscone Center the tweets are very concentrated.  Macworld is always a major event in the world of tweeting.
  
  Our clima meter tool is showing some of the highest tweeting in San Francisco in that area now, with a score of about 94 out of 100, very high.
  
  

  
• Rise of Android's tablet market
  

  "Android accounted for 39% of the market in the final three months of last year, up from 29% a year earlier, Strategy Analytics said. Apple's share fell to 58% from 68%.
  
  "Microsoft's share stood at 1.5%."

  BBC News - Android's share of tablet market jumps:
  
  

  We at the Web 3.o Lab are not going to smile to much on this one. Though it does confirms our prediction that Android would grow in to the tablet space. Its only we can't help but kind of laugh at iPad nuts who 6 months ago seemed to believe this product space was resolved forever.

  
  

  That said we still love our iPads and the iPad 2 remains, for now the best tablet in the market. But give it time.

  
  

  
• Tahrir's Twitter Hangover

  Twitter map of Cairo on the evening of Jan 25, 2012 at a mass demonstration to mark the one year of the start of their revolution, tweets mapped with the clima.me tool.

  And the next morning, perhaps Egypt over did it a bit last night?

  

  
• Tahrir's Cloud of Tweets

  Mobile Tweets mapped January 25, 2012 in Cairo with the clima.me tweet mapping tool

  We are seeing a unprecedented event on Twitter today.  In Cairo it seems now that almost everyone who is tweeting on a mobile phone in the entire city, one of the most massive in the world, is in either or near Tahrir Square or moving towards Tahrir Square.
