Trendsmap
Trendsmap is a tool to visualize the top Twitter trends throughout the world.
Simply put, it’s about what people are talking about right now and where they are.
Just browse the globe for all the current hot discussions in any region of the world.
Feel free to explore the current Twitter trends in your region or city as well.
Just zoom in on the map or pop in in your location for more of a local level perspective.
GeoChirp
Ever wonder what people in your neighborhood are tweeting about?
GeoChirp allows you to easily find out with its mashup.
Start by selecting a search radius anywhere on the Google map by simply clicking an area.
The latest tweets from that region will be displayed at the bottom of the map.
Twittervision
Twittervision is an interesting way to view tweets from all across the world.
After that, it just moves on to the next tweet.
There’s not much in terms of customization, but it’s still a lot of fun.
If you get bored with that, give the website’s 3D mode a whirl.
It’s the same concept, but this time it uses a three-dimensional globe fromPoly9, not Google Maps.
Twittervision is also available as an iPhone app.
