Data Visualization on Twitter Chatter During SuperBowl

Was following up today on a conversation with a professor at Harvard who teaches (amongst other things) Data Visualization and Modeling, and this twitter example came up...The map shows the location and frequency of commonly used words in Super Bowl related messages.

Cool right? BI and data visualization is no longer contained to the humdrum main stream applications on the market. This was all done using Open Source environments and languages. And just scratches the surface of the future possibilities when we wrap our brains around using 2 D data in multi-dimensional graphical representations!
