Contents: 1. Background 2. Development 3. Acknowledgements 4. Improvements Background Created during an intensely virtual, remote, and global time, this project is a reflection on world interconnectedness and our daily waves and flares of activity and wakedness across the globe.

Inspired largely by Lin-Manuel Miranda's series of \"gmorning, gnight\" tweets and his book with Jonny Sun, Gmorning, Gnight!: Little Pep Talks for Me & You :) On geotagging This project relies on tweets that are geotagged, either with exact coordinates or with a \"place\".

Geotagging is an incredible feature for researchers and data visualisers (not to mention, of course, business and advertisers).
