Some example ¶

http://apps.asterisq.com/mentionmap/#user-csyfamily :

Mentionmap loads each user's Twitter status updates (tweets) and finds the people and hashtags they talked about the most. The data is displayed using Constellation Framework, a graph visualization library for Actionscript. In this data visualization, mentions become connections and discussions between multiple users emerge as clusters. -- this may not be a proper method to study diffusion of message.
