• TAGSExplorer is a result of a couple of days code bashing in 2011. It mainly uses the DataTable part of the Google Visualization API to read data from a TAGS spreadsheet and format it to use with d3.js graphing library. By chucking some extra JavaScript/JQuery code (partly taken from johman’s Twitter Smash example) I’ve been able to reformat the raw Twitter data from the Google Spreadsheet and reformat it returning Twitter functionality like reply/retweet by using their Web Intents API.
• Another tool I could have used for this project is NodeXL. Below is a “How To” link on what NodeXL is, and how it is used.
