Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide a system for visualizing microblog data. The system can include circuitry that is configured to receive a request for visual report from a user device, extract the selected microblog data from a database based on the request for visual report, create a pyramid data structure having a plurality of cells at different levels for data visualization based on microblog data within spatial and temporal ranges selected by a user, and create a visual report including a plurality of visual report interfaces based on the data structure.

Abstract: A microblogs data management system and method that includes receiving, via communication circuitry, microblogs from a plurality of sources, storing, in a memory, the microblogs wherein the memory is temporally partitioned, transferring, using processing circuitry, a batch of the microblogs to an intermediate disk buffer when the memory is full, wherein the batch of the microblogs is selected based on a query and a temporal flushing policy, and transferring microblogs stored in the intermediate disk buffer to disk indexes.
