摘要
On Twitter, hashtags allow users to gather around a topic in a digital space, something that has been common since early IRC and internet chat rooms. However there are three important differences when gathering on Twitter: persistence, invitation, and device independence. In this paper, we search for patterns in these digital spaces through the use of visualization to explore the temporal rhythms that emerge.
