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 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.

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 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
