TwitterFountain.nl - Spectacular Twitter Visuals

Twitter mania continues with TwitterFountain, the mashup that gives you an inside look at events around the world, when simple back channels aren’t enough. TwitterFountain marries tweets with Flickr images with similar tags to give you a visual surprise.

You’ll see updates rotating across a screen behind which are compelling Flickr pics. The duration, frequency and scale can be adjusted to your preferences. It’s quite a treat and it will add zest to any event. If you would like your very own TwitterFountain, (and who wouldn’t?), simply fill out the form on the homepage. You can also copy the sample widget and embed it to your blog or website.

“Have you ever wanted to see what was happening at that one event you could not go to? Did the plain text-backchannels somehow left you feeling disappointed?
Twitterfountain comes to your aid: we mash up tweets and Flickr-images that share the same tags into a spectacular visual.”

TwitterFountain offers some very cool visuals. The combination of Tweets and Flickrs, while done before, hasn’t been done in this manner. It’s compelling, it’s hypnotic. It’s just plain spectacular. Makes plain old text backchannels look completely boring and old school.

Are users able to adjust colors and fonts as well as duration etc? Can specific Flickr photo sets be used?
