Twitter Conversations Map #1 by Walter Rafelsberger.

The geocoding was done filtering location info from the users profile pages and looking it up with www.geonames.org.

@mkoser
hehe you're right there are for sure some inaccurate locations because of strange entries in user profiles. i think the one arc to west africa is incorrect too, it's a known problem with automatically parsing locations. i didn't do any filtering yet, but I will look for a "stop-list" of known problematic locations/strings.
