The graphic (embedded below; click to see the animation) moves region by region, highlighting each time zone as the clock struck midnight on January 1. The graphic pulls out New Year's greetings in more than 30 different languages, showing when each phrase was tweeted the most. The term "Happy New Year," for example, spiked at midnight in London, then again five hours later when the clock struck 12 a.m. on the East Coast of the United States.
A Twitter engineer also uploaded the graphic code to GitHub, meaning other developers can build a similar map if interested.
New Year's Eve has long been a popular time for Twitter users. Last year, there were more than 33,000 tweets per second when the clock struck midnight in Tokyo and Seoul, setting the Tweets-per-second record.
A Twitter spokesperson said the company did not pull New Year's Eve stats this year (besides the chart), and a Facebook spokesperson said the same about posts on the social network.
