140 Characters

A little data-vis I coded up regarding the first 140 employees at Twitter.

The original idea was to make something cool to look at, for the walls of Twitter HQ, commemorating the first 140 employees at Twitter.  I didn't aim to make it super meaningful or informative... it was more art than utility.

However, I didn't anticipate so many mutual connections in the Twitter
family!  I expected less arcs, but the data speaks for itself, we're a
pretty tight knit bunch!

Also, I expected a much more defined trend of the bars (total tweets) going from big to small, left to right.  It does trend that way, but not much, and there are anomalies throughout.

Anyway, it is being printed as a big poster and framed all nice-like
for the offices!  Thought I would share with the community!

P.S. We're looking for some data-viz peeps at Twitter!  If you're interested, email me at stirman at twitter dot com. Word.
