When Do You Tweet? Visualize It!

You can dynamically generate a chart like the one above to show the density of tweets for any twitter account by time of day and day of week.  The different circle shadings also show the number of tweets, replies and retweets.  Create your own charts at xefer.com.

I like how this simple shart show so many dimmensions simultaneously.  The bar chart on the left shows number of tweets, replies and retweets for each day of the week.  The bar chart on the bottom shows the same by Day of Week, and the circles in the middle represent each hour of the week.  Through this we can see that the FEMA director (@craigatfema) tweeks almost exclusively on weekdays between 7 AM and 6 PM.
