Here is one of Jonah’s amazing maps! He mapped out the ‘It’s a Small World’ ride from Disneyland- countries, dancers, signs, symbols, etc. from start to finish! Way cool, this better win an award here!

After some brain-storming we decided to go with the theme of the Seven Deadly Sins (Envy, Gluttony, Greed, Lust, Pride, Sloth, Wrath) inspired in part by the cool mapping exercise by Mitchel Stimers and others at Kansas State University (here).  After all, the Twitter data from which we were pulling reflects the commentary of daily life.  What better source for uncovering the sins that lurk within the hearts and microblogging activities of Internet users? So we sat down and came up with range of terms that we thought did a decent job of representing a sin (e.g., the term Big Mac for Gluttony or honor student for Pride) and compiled them into a "sindex" for each each of the seven sins.
