Video, from Eric Fischer:

Green dots are tweets about earthquakes. Gray dots are tweets about other topics. Each frame is one second (total of 12 minutes). Thanks to Natural Earthfor the land, water, and boundary shape data and the Twitter Streaming API for the tweets.

Neat little graphic. 

If this isn’t enough for you, like you really need to dig deep into the speed of seismic waves and tweet waves, there’s a complete geographical/physics/numbery analysis over at Dot Physics: “Tweetwaves vs. Seismic Waves”.

It was directly inspired by a comic at xkcd, so we can all rejoice about that.
