CNN’s Magic Wall Maps Tweet Reaction to State of the Union Address
It seems like it’s been so long since I mentioned CNN’s Magic Wall, but now with Twitter’s geo API and some new tech, the tools was back with a geographic vengence on Wednesday night. (I did not see it; I don’t have cable.)
Using technology from software startup Crimson Hexagon, CNN presented a comprehensive breakdown of Twitter responses to the State of the Union, ranging from “Support Obama” to “Obama too liberal.” King, operating the Magic Wall, was able to drill down to show state-by-state reactions and highlight sample tweets from each state, as well as show a macro-view of Twitter users’ responses to the speech.
