Collective Memory – Twitter

Part of the Supersonic 2011 Collective Memory compiled by Pete Ashton.

We were tracking the #ssf11 hashtag on Twitter over the weekend to see what was being said at the time. Here’s the obligatory word cloud. The larger the word the more times it appeared.

That alone doesn’t tell us a whole lot but if you’d like to do some digging yourself (as we shall be doing later) the raw data is in this spreadsheet.

Here’s the top tweeters. Passionate fans or loudmouthed attention seekers – you decide.

Thanks to Dave Harte and others for help with extracting the data from Twitter’s clammy grasp.

Coming soon – photos, videos, reviews and everything in between.

  1. I think “loudmouthed attention seekers” is a touch harsh. If you didn’t want us to tweet about the good times (and I think the majority of comments ARE positive) we were having you shouldn’t have #ssf11 it.

    • Sorry Grant, I was being self-deprecating since I’m at the top of the list. I guess it’s not that obvious in hindsight.
