Vlaag.com - Visualizing The Latest Twitter Tags

Twitter turned out to be one of the major streams of news ever. I am sure you have heard that some have claimed it should be nominated for a Nobel Prize.

That might seem absurd on the surface, but if we look at the role Twitter played during the recent election in Iran it dawns on us that the notion is not that far-fetched to begin with.



This new visualization tool will let you see the top trends as of late in the Twitterverse displayed as a sort of hall of hashtags for you to click about. These are termed “News blocks” on the site’s parlance.

It can’t be denied that accessing information in this way is more appealing and (most of all) more apprehensible than a mere string of text that bores you within minutes, even seconds. This approach has the advantage of letting you delve upon any item or topic that seems attractive to you right on the spot, and it turns the whole process into something that mirrors Twitter’s dynamicity very faithfully.
