Acceptance Speeches: The Tweets Are In!
MG Siegler over at VentureBeat saw our post yesterday about Twitter activity surrounding Governor Palin's acceptance speech and asked if we could share more along those lines. Here is a graph showing Twitter mentions of each presidential and vice presidential candidate during their acceptance speeches at the DNC and RNC. McCain seems to be topping the chart but that's not necessarily a good thing—tweets can be both positive and negative.

I've made multiple tweets about Palin. Rest assured that not a single one of them is positive! :)
Thank you for posting this type of interesting, useful information. The graph seems to be missing some information, however, which gives rise to a couple of questions. One presumes the hours listed on the x axsis are local to the applicable convention city (that seems like the only reasonable way to display given the hour shift) but it still does not seem to match up exactly as well as being a window far longer than the four acceptance speeches themselves as you state in the post. In any event, this kind of data is neat to see
