Geography alumnus and current Lecturer of Cartography Daniel Huffman's map Profane Mountains, Polite Plains – displayed on the cover of the recent issue of Cartographic Perspectives (pdf) – gained recognition on a number of social media networking sites on Tuesday.
Huffman color-coded map of profanity on Twitter (original PDF here). Using a sample of 1.5 millon geocoded tweets from last March 12 to April 9, the isoline map is lightest where the percentage of profanity in tweets was strongest.
Among the sites profiling the map of the use of profanity on Twitter are MSNBC's technology and Tech 24 Hours.
