The Indian Election Twitter Oestrus Map


The whole of Republic of Republic of India waits with bated breath for the finally results of the country's full general election. Most of the larn out polls are predicting that the primary opposition, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is probable to move the biggest winner. However larn out polls inward Republic of Republic of India convey oftentimes proved to move really inaccurate.

I prefer thus to role the wildly inaccurate method of counting the publish of Twitter mentions of the leaders of the 3 primary parties (the INC, BJP & AAP) to estimate the popularity of each candidate. Luckily mortal has created an animated heat-map showing the place of Tweets made only about the footing for each of the primary political party leaders betwixt the kickoff of this twelvemonth together with 13th May.

I'm a large fan of CartoDB's Torque library, which is capable of creating really powerful animated visualizations of large information sets. The India's Election: 2014 together with so far on Twitter map is 1 of the to a greater extent than impressive examples of a CartoDB Torque created map that I've seen. The role of unlike colors for each of the 3 political party leaders results inward a really impressive looking map, redolent of a Jackson Pollock painting.

Unfortunately with all this visual dissonance it is hard to pick out whatsoever clear leader. So it is dorsum to the larn out polls for me.
