There were nearly 1000 tweets from the Let’s Test conference & I’d quite like to re-read them. Mohinder (@mpkhosla) has very kindly harvested the tweets here.
To help me read the tweets & see their relationships with each other, I decided to see if there was anyway I could visualise them to make them a bit less dry.
This post demonstrates a few of the ideas I’ve tried. The 3rd one is my favourite (so far)

The most lightweight of the ideas I tried - seems like it would be best suited for having at the conference itself.
Its got several animations for a bit of variety. Not what I was really looking for, but nice all the same.

Slightly clunky when trying to view all tweets from the conference, but interesting to see the tweets on a timeline & relationships between the tweets. The visualisation is an animation which you can’t interact with - it does have a pattern for which tweets it zooms in on, but I still want to select my own tweets. Probably most suitable for watching over dinner, or having at the conference itself.

A really interactive visualisation that still lets you get to the data in the tweets.
