Good representation or visualization plays a key role in data perception. We have got in to the way of standard widgets or bar with list of latest tweets from users, and we even don’t know where these users are. What about geolocating? With the power of Tuiter, Express, Socket.io and Google maps, Argentinean web developer Dan Zajdband built an engine to visualize in real-time geolocated tweets from around the world as it is sent.
