What 11/11/11 on Twitter looked like

United States brings up the rear on Eleven Day

By Alpha Doggs on Wed, 11/16/11 - 8:59am.

Last week we mulled how to cover the coming of Nov. 11, 2011, or 11/11/11, on the pages of Network World's website. We didn't want to bite on vendors' marketing gimmicks tied to the unique date, and hadn't come across any related security threats or Year 2000 type glitches either. We came up pretty darn empty.

But now we find circulating a colorful visualization of Twitter messages about 11/11/11 that circulated around the Web on that day, as shown here and as posted by Twitter as "Eleven" on YouTube this week. Not surprisingly, the tweet wave spreads from east to west during the day and night.
