This is going to be a short one.
While reading on the web, I came across Trump Tweets on a Globe. I was really fascinated by the fantastic work done. The best part was that it was open source. So I forked the repository and started playing with it.
I thought it would be really cool if everybody got to see the location and the content of the tweets in topics they are interested in real-time. The only way you could change the search term was through the command line. I modified the code, to give the the search functionality on the web page.
You can check it out over Tweets on a Globe. (The default search term, as it was before, is still Trump. Haha!)
(I have deployed the app on Heroku and there is just one instance of the app running. So you will probably see somebody else's search results on the globe. So just update the search term to what you want. Also, geotagged tweets are far less, so searching for trending topics would help for a better experience.)
You can find all the code on my GitHub page.
Big thumbs up to Joel Grus for the awesome visualization and concept!
