We’ve already seen how effective the #BringBackOurGirls Twitter campaign

has been so far. While it took a while (about 2 weeks) to spread worldwide, its reach has been no doubt unprecedented in the history of Nigerian Twitter.

Now you can watch how it all began, right from that first Tweet sent from Nigeria on the 23rd of April. Below is a map shared yesterday by Time, that autoplays the hashtag activity with respect to time.  It seems like it only tracks geo-tagged tweets. So while it may not give a full chronological representation of the activity, it still is a beauty to observe.
