More experiments with Twitter visualisation, aided and abetted by tutorials over at OUseful.

If you fancy having a go yourself, a few quick steps…

  1. Download and install R (also, get over the fact that the site was put together by a statistician)
  2. Download, install and open RStudio
  3. Type install.packages(“ggplot2”) into the console and press enter
  4. Type whichever number is nearest to you and press enter - you just installed a package

Pretty much all the rest is covered over on OUseful (you just need to repeat step three for any other packages needed).

Really nice themed interview series by Interactive Things. In their own words: We want to feel the pulse of the creative community working at the intersection of art, design, and science. They are restlessly weaving together the physical with the digital, turning data into meaning, and creating interactive experiences to generate inspiring insights that encourage us to challenge our own works.
