MemeTracker: Visualising ‘time lag’ on online news reporting
July 14th, 2009Posted by Laura Oliver in Editors' pick, Handy tools and technology
Fascinating project (found via @amonck):
“MemeTracker builds maps of the daily news cycle by analyzing around 900,000 news stories and blog posts per day from 1 million online sources, ranging from mass media to personal blogs.
“We track the quotes and phrases that appear most frequently over time across this entire online news spectrum. This makes it possible to see how different stories compete for news and blog coverage each day, and how certain stories persist while others fade quickly.”
