Top twitterers from a json dataset d3.js

Right after the first MaptimeDC I did a query to the twitter API and saved the results to a file. The search with the API doesn't get everything and there are definitely problems with using this for analysis. For example I end up on this list and I think I may have retweeted something including maptimeDC but don't think I created anything original w/ that string in it. So my query returned 44 unique ids with tweets. I decided to use the maptimeDC query because it didn't quite make it to the 100 tweet limit the maptime or maptimeSF get up to yet still returned 70 some to work with. Great job maptimDCers for giving me a good practice dataset! For other maptime twitter datasets see my mapTwit repo where I'll post script examples so you can create your own datasets and put em' in files or databases or what have you. Plus I'm sure I/you can do better than just a text visualization w/ d3, but for now let's make more data by tweeting w/ #maptime.

Because I don't make top whatever lists often I'll take this chance to make a top 3 twitterers using maptimeDC:

Bonnie Bogle:7

Rosemary Wardley:7

Maptime HQ:5

So follow them if you want to get to know more about when a MaptimeDC is coming up and as always let me know what can be better with this code and feel free to make it better and share w/ me!
