Abstract :
It is common for clients using Twitter to adopt displays that indicate their posts (tweets) as textboxes, and they are individually and perpendicularly lined up in order. When several people discuss a particular topic, they frequently post tweets as "replies". However, it is difficult for users in these types of displays to obtain the information that is required and beneficial to understand to make progress in particular discussions. Consequently, we propose a system, which we evaluated, of visualizing the relations between tweets by using digraphs.
