The auspol widget<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Twitter tag #AUSPOL is arguably the most active political discussion group in Australia. So we’re inserting a thermometer, taking its temperature and giving an hourly indication of what’s hot in Australian politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are on average about 2,500 tweets an hour tagged with #auspol – it’s a very active tag. And one which jumps around depending on what’s in the news or happening in Canberra. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our new gadget<\/a> and widget are trying to give a sense of what’s top of mind in the #auspol community hour-by-hour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do this by sampling tweets each hour and extracting both the most used words and the most active tweet (based on mentions, re-tweets, etc). We then do some filtering to remove common words – like ‘the” – and finally display the top ten words, with bigger, thicker words indicating more usage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The widget on our front page<\/a> shows the top most used word and gives an indication of whether the #auspol tag is running hotter or colder than average for that time of day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
