Screen Shot 2013-08-13 at 1.36.jpgDigital Arts Network (DAN) Sydney has launched a political twitter chatter monitor called ‘Twatter’ to measure and visualise political chatter on Twitter.

With the Australian election fast approaching, the political war of words between Tony Abbott and Kevin Rudd is taking place on twitter.

So which candidate is getting the most mentions in social? Twatter visualises a live tally of mentions between Rudd and Abbott in real-time. A Tweet about either Rudd or Abbott causes their respective heads to swell by a few pixels every mention.
