ScatterBlogs: Geo-spatial document analysis

We presented Scatterblogs, a system for microblog analysis that seamlessly integrates search backend and visual frontend. It provides powerful, automatic algorithms for detecting spatio-temporal `anomalies´ within blog entries as well as corresponding visual representations and interaction facilities for inspecting anomalies or exploiting them in further analytic steps. Apart from that, we consider the system´s combinatoric facilities for building complex hypotheses from temporal, spatial, and content-related aspects an important feature. This was the key for creating a cross-checked analysis for MC1.
