Seeing the Elections Buzz

I’ve been working feverishly on a news visualization, trying to capture the buzz and conversations happening within the comment spaces around news articles online. Am very excited at the direction this is heading. I’ve posted my earlier screen-captures a couple of weeks ago. Today I have some images from another part of the visualization – wordLapse. This looks at the most frequently used words over time.

From an initial glance, ‘Buzz’ words are obvious: the first image represents comments from the first week of October, while the second, the last week of February.
Word Cloud - Early October

Word Cloud - Late February
More to come, very soon.
