| This map shows the locations of tweets from mobile devices during riots in Athens on 12/02/12 mapped with the clima.me tool. |
Athens Greece is not a large area for tweeting. These are some of the highest levels of tweets we have ever seen for Athens mapped over an evening of violent riots and mass protests.
Notice a cluster of tweets to the north of parliament, this is where the Attikon theater is(was?) located and the tweets cluster is a classic gawkers cluster. A group of people are standing around photographing the fire and posting images with instagram to twitter.

| Closer view shows tweets coming from both Parliament and streets, and a division between riots in the squares and side streets |
 |
| The above map shows a distribution of tweets and foursqaure checkins. As one would anticipate there is almost not checkins, people are tweeting news events. But it is interesting that someone checkined during a riot. |
 |
| This shows the tweeting for the next day. There is still continued heavy tweeting down the side streets, we assume these are people photographing sites of damage more than anything else. |
