The first draft of this visualisation was created in about 8 hours before the deadline for USA by Designers expired, on the day before I had to move out of my house and before I’d started any packing!

This week I’ve been working on a sweet new data visualisation that aggregates opinion from twitter for a specfic event or set of topics.
