    Twitterverse.com - What is Twitter Doing Today?

    twitterverse

    Twitterverse is the latest mashup of the increasingly popular Twitter. It takes information from twitters coming from a certain period of time, and then analyzes them to see which words are being typed the most. The site just launched, so there´s a lot of development to come, such as a bigger filter on the kinds of words being displayed, but it´s fun to look through. You would never think that some of the most typed words are people´s names. The biggest words are generally verbs like watching, listening, and going. I clicked on “pizza”, a relatively small word in the list (meaning it´s been typed less than others on the list) and was surprised to see a long list already accumulated of people talking about how they wanted pizza or were waiting for it to be delivered. Check it out if you want to see some of the most common words used daily on Twitter.

    In their own words

    “Twitterverse is a mashup and visualization project which mines and archives the public timeline of Twitter and provides a visualization of the most commonly used words in a given time period. Learn more about our initial motivations in this post.

    Why it might be a killer

    Twitter mashups are huge right now, since Twitter is the big internet revolution right now. It´s really easy to use and easy to skim through to find interesting words to check out. If there´s a new Twitter mashup out there, all of the obsessed Twitterers are going to want to check it out and see new ways to use their obsession for fun and info.

    Some questions


    More time limitations and possibly grouping the words by their type (people´s names, verbs, food, etc.) could be cool functions to see on the site to make it more specific and useful.
