Presentation on Tweeting the Bible

Here’s a presentation I just gave at the BibleTech 2010 conference about how people tweet the Bible:

Tweeting the Bible (BibleTech 2010) from openbibleinfo

Also: PowerPoint, PDF.

I distributed the following handout at the presentation, showing the popularity of Bible chapters and verses cited on Twitter. It displays a lot of data: darker chapters are more popular, the number in the middle of each box is the most popular verse in the chapter, and sparklines in each box show the distribution of the popularity in each chapter. (Genesis 1:1 is by far the most popular verse in Genesis 1, while Genesis 3:15 is only a little more popular than other verses in the chapter.)

The grid shows the popularity of chapters and verses in the Bible as cited on Twitter.

    Awesome presentation at BibleTech. Your visualizations really do show that a picture is worth a thousand words. Great work! Trey

    Oh... I also wanted to share another visualization page with you. You probably have already seen it, but again just showing Bible relationships in a new way. http://www.chrisharrison.net/projects/bibleviz/index.html Trey
