In-Depth Information
consecutive tweets by the same user are linked by location to represent
travel. Millions of Twitter users sending hundreds of millions of tweets
in this data set form a picture of travel patterns layered on a map. The
binned batch aggregation approach is a natural fit for cloud computing
platforms, providing scalability to much larger data sets. Tiles are rendered
dynamically to provide runtime filtering and color scale control and can
be layered, as in the case here where nodes and links are controlled and
rendered as separate tile sets.

Aperture Tiles also supports annotation layers, so, for example, the most
important nodes identified by page rank can be layered on the view.
