Soda vs. Pop with Twitter

Soda vs. Pop with Twitter | AP Human Geography Topics | Scoop.it

While many educators have been using http://popvssoda.com/ to show the linguistic regions in the United States, this is a similar map, with the added social media component.  To map out these regions, the cartographer used the word choice on geo-tagged tweets as the data source.  For another twitter, map, the following link shows which regions are most actively engaged on Twitter: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/06/top-countries-on-twitter_n_1653915.html

What do these regions show us?  What types of regions are these?

This is a really cool use of twitter! I use the term soda, which most of the northeast uses as well.
