Amazing work! I really love seeing the 'explosions' when some news happens in the Netherlands and Switzerland yesterday. One thing I'm curious about though is if you could make it so that you see the time per time zone. I'm assuming the replay is SF time, but it's hard to figure out when exactly those flash events happened in European countries. All in all, great work.

I think it is GMT 0 (Rob is UK based) so it will be a few hours ahead of the time.

We collect the data in the UK (GMT) but the time given in the visualising is the local time of the user. We have a GMT offset on the homepage but not on the player, we'll fix that for v2. Hopefully that clears it up.

  What service are you using to collect the data? The public Twitter API or another aggregation service?

    We use the public Twitter Streaming API, yes :)

And thanks for the comments! It's definitely fun to watch.
