Social media are transforming global communication and coordination and provide
unprecedented opportunities for studying socio-technical domains. Here we study
global dynamical patterns of communication on Twitter across many scales.
Underlying the observed patterns is both the diurnal rotation of the Earth, day
and night, and the synchrony required for contingency of actions between
individuals. We find that urban areas show a cyclic contraction and expansion
that resembles heartbeats linked to social rather than natural cycles. Different
urban areas have characteristic signatures of daily collective activities. We
show that the differences detected are consistent with a new emergent global
synchrony that couples behaviour in distant regions across the world. Although
local synchrony is the major force that shapes the collective behaviour in
cities, a larger-scale synchronization is beginning to occur.
