Watch in real time as the last one million geotagged tweets are shown on a one million tweet map. Continue reading

Geomeme – what tweets are happening where

Geomeme is a very busy interface, but does a great job of identifying (you are asked first) your location and showing tweets around you.  From there you can view hot hashtags or search for your own.  It is all wrapped around a Google map mash showing the location of the people sending the tweets themselves. … Continue reading

Foller.me – get all the info on the person before following them

Foller.me has one of the easiest welcome pages imaginable.  See the logo above?  That is it outside of a small entry box where you type a Twitter id (a Twitter id is no longer just a person, but that is another post).  What you get back is outstanding in a clean interface after it reads … Continue reading

CityTweets tries to pull as real-time a stream as it can into two columns per city. Tweets from the city and that mention the city.
