Smartphones, each one with a tiny GPS pinging, have revolutionized cartography. Matthew Zook, a geographer at the University of Kentucky, has partnered with data scientists there to create what they call the DOLLY Project (Digital OnLine Life and You)---it's a searchable repository of every geotagged tweet since December 2011, meaning Zook and his team have compiled billions of interrelated sentiments, each with a latitude and longitude attached.
-Christian Rudder, "The United States of Reddit," Slate, 2014

It provides information about spatial distribution of people's reactions to events.
It provides an opportunity for geographers to work with data scientists.
Geographers focus on the sentiments of people more than do other scientists.
