Paradigma labs want contribute to the Gephi project and to research community with another powerful and real time tool. This tool is able to capture the Twitter Streaming, filter the huge information with some keywords, and create a useful graph to represent the semantic of the hashtag emergence.
Co occurrences networks are generally used to provide a graphic visualization of potential relationships between people, organizations, concepts or other entities. Using co occurrences of #hashtags into the tweets, we can detect the "potential hashtags" or its emergence.
In this video, you can watch a sample performance of this tool filtering twitter stream with "SOPA", "ACTA" and "PIPA" words and detecting some hashtags associations in real time.
