Fischer says he's been tracking any tweets that have been geotagged for the last three and a half years, thanks to Twitter's public API.
He collected about 10 million public tweets each day (120 per second) - the accumulated history of tweets takes up a whopping 3 terabytes of compressed data "and is growing by 4 gigabytes a day," he says.
In total, Fischer put his 6.3 trillion tweets onto an embeddable map, which is also open source so you can make one for yourself. Check it out below.
