Create a map mashup of the US map broken out by states. The color of each state will vary from two colors (e.g. red to blue) determined by the relative frequency of twitter results for a given keyword (e.g. happy). The idea is to show a US map of real-time happiness broken out by state.

HOW TO CALCULATE THE RELATIVE FREQUENCY (from 0 to 100) FOR THE GIVEN KEYWORD (e.g. 'happy').
You'll need to find out how often people include the word 'happy' in their tweets on each US state.
Since twitter does not support state-filtered searches, you'll have use the geocode operator with the location the biggest city in each state and use a query similar to this:
[login to view URL][][1]
[][1]
You'll have to put the geocode locations for each state capital.
For each query (state), calculate the average time between tweets, normalize all in a scale from 0 (least frequent) to 100 (the one in which the tweets came up more often).
