As the note from EA suggests it is interim - in the post I highlight it's draft. I expect by the time we get done there'll be quite a few different looks at the data, some of which will be as you suggest, there may even be a look at time-series mapping, visualising links growing and comparing that to tweet volume.

I would say that in its current state it is not very informative, however. A few suggestions: - you are quantizing your data on a day (70 buckets) but in early days information was unrolling hour-to-hour. Might be more useful to have hourly buckets, perhaps overlaid with the daily graph for smoothing purposes. - The graphs would be immensely more useful if you labelled the X axis with important real-world events. This would tell the reader what all the secondary spikes are in the first graph. - how about a secondary plotline showing the number of active unique 'tweeters'? What is the %age of retweets? How may tweeters only retweet? More as I think of them. You are just scratching the surface. Interesting but raw data. I would say that in its current state it is not very informative, however.
