چکیده

Our study consists of two parts: First, we created heatmap visualizations, through which periods of comparatively intense and sparse activity are readily apparent—these visual patterns reflect diurnal cycles, cultural norms, and even religious practices. Second, we performed a cluster analysis of these activity patterns to identify groupings of cities that are similar in the ways their inhabitants use Twitter. Not surprisingly, cities cluster geographically, although we are able to identify cross-cultural similarities as well.
