Watch Social Media Grow in Real Time

Gary Hayes has developed a “social media counter” that shows social media activity around the world as you watch. This is a great visualization tool to make all of us aware that this phenomenon is huge. Watch for a minute, and see how many people tweet or upload images to Facebook.

 As a learning tool, this kind of embedded dashboard could be used to teach about the impact of any dynamic activity that is rapidly changing – for example, pollution being discharged, or jobs being gained or lost. (GW)
