Tweereal – a real time map of tweets

Tweereal uses Google Maps and the Twitter stream to make a live map of public tweets with geolocation available. Continue reading

UMapper – map tweets in a specific area

UMapper is a neat little tool I was sent a link to investigate.  It can actually map anything into a custom map, but tweets are our focus here.  I created a map for a recent conference, easily zooming into the city it was held.  Surprisingly, it was fast and a great way to see what … Continue reading

MyTweetMap – map where your friends tweet from

MyTweetMap is a very simple Google Maps mashup offered by a school district.  You enter your Twitter username and password (no oAuth) and it starts mapping out your friends locations.  It was fast responding for a few hundred people that I follow.  Otherwise, not too exciting and you cannot fully act on the tweets.  Great … 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

Trazzler is a reverse location service.  Instead of telling where you are, you use it to find out where you should be.  You can see graph history of how often a place is mentioned.  Read tweets and even retweet the location. When I say location I do not mean just places like Stan’s Meat Market.  …

TwitArea – instant short URL’s for places

TwitArea is a Firefox 3.0.11 or higher add-on to allow you to share locations quickly and easily.  These places are not necessarily where you are located, but could be you talking about a place in general, like a restaurant. The extension adds a new button to the web Twitter interface to find a place, by … Continue reading

GeoChirp pleasantly surprised me with the sleek interface and immediate usefulness.  You get immediate function without logging in.  It guesses your current location and shows it on the map and starts to bring in tweets at the bottom. You are able to enter any address, number of tweets and miles radius.  You can also simply …

TweetMondo works better the more precise your list your own location.  It allows you to find others in your area as well as them to find you, depending on privacy systems. You can see the number of people in a location, but not details until you log into the site itself.  I used a test …

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
