words mentioned in earthquake tweets 23-jan-2010

Using twitter gardenhose access, remove stopwords and punctuation sprinkle in a little bit of mapping, some reducing, and voila! The most frequently-occurring words in tweets that mentioned earthquake from June 23, 2010. I left earthquake out of the image itself because being that it was in every tweet, it overwhelmed the rest of the words.  I find it amazing that the most frequently occurring ‘word’ is RT.

Also, wordle seemed to strip out numeric ‘words’ which is a shame because people tweeted the magnitude left-and-right.  See the data below for the top 100 words.
