    Abstract

    Exploring large geolocated social media datasets is now an important task in many pursuits e.g. crisis response. Yet there is still a lack of effective methods to view and interact with large amounts spatially-disturbed user-generated content. In this work, we explore interaction techniques for an extended version of ScatterBlogs - an interactive application for exploring massive twitter datasets on large highresolution displays. We designed an interaction technique that employs multiple tablets to enable multiple users to effectively manipulate geolocated twitter massages on a large screen. In a preliminary user study, we compared our technique with using a desktop computer. Results indicate that the technique offers superior performance and user experience. In future work, we will explore how our technique can enhance the user experience of interacting with analytics applications.
