The new Tweet-o-Meter is used to measure and visualize the amount of tweets sent around different cities. This tool allows us to pull in every 30 km area of any urban area. At the moment, the system can visualize New York, London, Paris, Munich, San Francisco, Barcelona, Oslo, Tokyo, Rome, Moscow and Sydney.

Tweet-o-Meter mines the data for later analysis relating to furthering our understanding of social and temporal dynamics for e-social science within the twitter demographic. The research is undertaken at CASA, university college London as a part of a wider survey tool as part of the NeISS project being coded by Steven gray, in association with urban Tick and Digital Urban.

The Tweet-o-Meter currently in beta mode updates every 10 seconds by displaying the city with highest number of tweets. A wider ranging system is being launched as part of a free data collection service via NeISS in the next couple of months.

It would be really cool to have real time graphs below which show either a daily or an hourly trend of the twitting happening around the world.

Is it true that, “New York is the city that never sleeps!”? Do Londoners send more Tweets than New Yorkians’? Is Oslo a bigger Tweeter than Munich? Is Tokyo as much into Tweets as Barcelona? Has San Francisco calmed down after all that talk about the iPad? Tweet-o-Meter Knows! But when will the Tweet-O-Meter enlighten us on this information? We should eagerly wait and watch.
