We Are Hunted + Twitter - May 29 2009

We are now indexing more than a million tweets a month to discover what people are listening to online. Today we are releasing some graphs from our internal Twitter data that we think are interesting and amusing from the past month.

These graphs illustrate the Twitter response to some of the major events in music over the last month including:

- Album launches from Coldplay, Eminem, Passion Pit and Green Day.
- The leak of the new Wilco album.
- The release of nude photos of Cassie.
- And finally, the response from Kanye West's rant about Twitter.

The vertical axis on the graphs indicate the percentage of people who said they are listening to music and not the percentage of people on twitter as a whole.
