Abstract

People's personality and motivations are manifest in their everyday language\nusage. With the emergence of social media, ample examples of such usage are\nprocurable. In this paper, we aim to analyze the vocabulary used by close to\n200,000 Blogger users in the U.S. with the purpose of geographically portraying\nvarious demographic, linguistic, and psychological dimensions at the state\nlevel. We give a description of a web-based tool for viewing maps that depict\nvarious characteristics of the social media users as derived from this large\nblog dataset of over two billion words.\n
