Qatar-based news outlet Al Jazeera launched a Twitter dashboard to illustrate tweets about uprisings and revolutions around the world.
The dashboard tallies the daily number of tweets about developments in each listed country (the site is currently tracking Egypt, Yemen, Libya and Bahrain) and shows the average number of such tweets per minute for each country. It also graphs the number of such tweets from each country over time and shows a visual representation of the “hashtag distribution for each country getting the most attention in the Twittersphere.”
Al Jazeera has led the world’s media coverage of protests and revolutions throughout the Middle East and Africa.
The dashboard provides a handy, at-a-glance gauge of where and how people are using Twitter to discuss uprisings in the Middle East and the Arab world, Mashable reports.
