When Twitter Says Good Morning Around the World

Jer Thorp, an artist and educator from Vancouver, Canada, visualizes when people “wake up” on Twitter, or when they say good morning, rather. Here it is in its 3-d globe glory. It’s called GoodMorning!. Notice the wave.

Okay, wait, I know you’re already furiously leaving or thinking about a comment on how absolutely useless and non-concrete this is – and Jer is the first to admit that – but there is obviously something to learn here.

However, it’s late, and I’m tired, so I’ll leave that up to you. But off the top of my head, I’m thinking a more relevant subject like disease or need of help and color coding that’s more meaningful. Your turn.
