Help with Twitter Visualization
Nov 22nd, 2009, 12:56pm
 
I'm still REALLY new to processing and so I came to the forums for some hope that people might be able to point me in the right direction...

I'm working on a project for class in which I want to visualize positive and negative things said on Twitter. The big picture idea is that this would be represented by water in two glasses (cup half empty or half full) and every new tweet would add water to the respetive cup.

however for right now I just want to try and figure out how to go about visualizing twitter data (based on keywords like good, love, awesome, bad, crappy, lame, etc.). for now good would be represented by a green dot and bad by a red dot. If anyone could steer me in the right direction for how to go about doing this that'd be really great...

Thanks, that should help a lot. And yes I do know of we feel fine, but was unaware of their API. I'll see if I can play with that too.
