Gilad sez,
ReTweet Revolution is a visual exploration of the most popular conversation threads that were passed amongst Twitter users at the time of the events following the recent Iranian elections earlier in June of 2009. The applet displays 372 of the most popular threads extracted from a pool of over 230,000 messages posted on Twitter between June 14th and June 24th, polled from the public timeline at regular intervals.By clicking on a specific topical thread, it is possible to view its network structure: how the message was ReTweeted from one user to another and how its content changed as it was passed along. It is also possible to see posts that were obviously “retweets” but with no attribution to the original source.
