Very clever. Using a week's worth of Twitter data to look at regional linguistic variations, primarily in US slang. That sure is sumthin…

One of the visualizations of the London Boris Bike data

Data from the shared bicycle – "Boris Bikes" – program in London made available for visualization. Results are quite interesting – an example of the challenges of making sense of such a large data set

MIT's Senseable Cities group used data from over 12 billion phonecalls, made in the course of a month, to intuit the strength of social ties in the UK and to propose regions based on communication. Those regions align quite well with historical regions, and help predict the emergence of a new region to the west of London… they also suggest that Scotland could leave the UK without breaking nearly as many ties as if Wales left… Fascinating. Great method for intuiting social network from large data sets and using social network to divide a geographic map.
