[TheJashikaa]

Is North Dakota still living under caves?

[mathfreak123]

like a plague

[Almondania]

I don't give a fuck about Twitter.

[KassRedFox]

The infection started really slow ...

[cooljoe494]

America hits puberty around 0:07

[spamviking]

God it's like watching the opening to a zombie film, tracking the spread of the plague.

[Joiner113]

That's basically what would happen if Ebola managed to disperse in a major US city.

[slugabedmiz]

imagine if that some kind of fatal virus

[deathlordoo]

@slugabedmiz Then that un touched state (sorry for not knowing, I'm Canadian) is the only safe haven

[slugabedmiz]

@deathlordoo north dakota i think :/ i hope it's a nice place

[Austerers]

Too bad a load of retards are using Twitter like facebook.

[MooshkiJ]

What happened in April/May '09?

[jamesonthecrow]

@MooshkiJ Ashton Kutcher went on a campaign to get 1 million followers then went on Oprah to announce he succeeded. On that show, Oprah signed up for Twitter and urged others to do the same.

[LATETANICA50]

North dakota not a single fuck was given that day

[CoyoteSamuri]

Wow, they made Alaska look really tiny on that map. :/

[jamesonthecrow]

@CoyoteSamuri Its the standard SVG image available on Wikipedia. Unfortunately I did not even map data from Alaska because of annoyances coding it

[CoyoteSamuri]

@jamesonthecrow Ah, I see. Either way, this is a very interesting map. :)

[theloveofrihanna]

Alaska? anyone?

[CoyoteSamuri]

@theloveofrihanna Obviously Alaskans have more important things to do than tweet. ;)

[jamesonthecrow]

@CoyoteSamuri Actually i just had more important things to do than figure out how to plot Alaska on this particular map so i left those cities out...sorry Alaska.

[CoyoteSamuri]

@jamesonthecrow I can understand that. Alaska is mostly bush towns so I can see how that would be difficult to map. :)

[SuperGreenSmartie]

Man, twitter spiked massively in use towards the end. I wonder what prompted such a rise in twitter's use?

[jamesonthecrow]

@SuperGreenSmartie Two things. The first was that Ashton Kutcher went on a campaign to get 1 million followers which ended on Oprah's show with Oprah signing up. The second spike was around the time the Iranian protests of 2009 were generating a lot of press about the roll of social media in civil unrest.

[SuperGreenSmartie]

The infection spread almost overnight. LA was the first city to fall to the outbreak. They say North Dakota is the last safe zone for survivors. I'll be heading there tommorow if I can.

[wingsofhope2]

Looks like an epidemic growing. North Dakota is officially clean though.

[StrikerSL9]

God, it's like watching a pig growing tumors.

[Starfoxteam1]

It's like watching an infection outbreak

[LittlePikachu]

Keep fighting the good fight North Dakota! Don't fall to the twitter scourge like South Dakota did

[KnightWyrd]

Shall we play a game?

[ZombieQueenification]

wow nevada really does only have a few cities lol

[fullersj]

Wow, North Dakota sucks.

[VhUgGz]

@fullersj I noticed LOL

[Sneezlebob]

@fullersj More like Nroth Dakota isnt full of Twitter retards

[junior214223]

@fullersj no, people just have lives and dont give a shit what other people are doing at all times

[javyzen]

skynet attack! :O'.

[ekull25]

The first red dot “explodes” over the Bay Area in June/July 2007. Hmmm… What device debuted at that same EXACT time, and then exploded across the country/world?? You could have used the same exact video to chart Apple customers.

[CEEAat]

Very cool.

Would like to see it from the whole world plz.
