The TEDxAthens 2011 theme was “the Art of Disruption”. The conference took place in Athens, on December 3rd 2011 with great success. Together with the TEDxAthens team and the Civitas team we have analyzed the 9323 social media references to TEDxAthens 2011 covering the entire week of the event.
The analysis has produced a variety of insights, such as:
Calculation of buzz; segmentation of the conference to time periods corresponding to the speakers; detection of the top quotes for each user, as well as the top quotes in general, as these were tweeted or re-tweeded by the audience; computation of the links to web sites, blogs and photo sharing sites that were shared by users; identification of the most popular nodes of the network that was formed around the event; and computation of the aspects of the discussion, that is the key-words, phrases and terms with the most discriminative capacity and which better characterized the discussion about TEDxAthens.
We have linguistically processed the “About” fields that are included in the profiles of the 100 most important nodes of the network that was developed around the event and we have created the following word cloud.
A beautiful video of the insights that characterized the event can be found here: http://blog.tedxathens.com/tedx-athens-2011-social-media-video-infographic
