Twitter API Goes Geo

I think including geography is going to be the killer feature in the next round of webapps. I’ve been waiting for Twitter to get in on the action. This will be cool.

Third day in Boston

We walked, and then walked some more. Chris will notice it’s not quite accurate, but it’s fairly close for being from memory.

Twitter Fun

nicholasjon@nicholasjon.com (Nick) — Fri, 11 May 2007 05:27:11 GMT

In celebration of a little free time Sunday afternoon, I sat down and finally whipped together my first mashup.

I decided it would be fun to mess around with Twitter, because everyone is. And I decided it would be fun to play with the Yahoo! Maps API, because everyone else seems to be using Google’s. So I set about trying to visualize Twitter posts geographically.

Turns out, that’s pretty darn easy. (Probably why it’s already been done, but that’s okay.)

What I’ve got is a first cut, but I’m pretty happy with it. So now I’m curious? What else should it the map do? Let me know in the comments.

Heroes character map

A diagram of all the characters and their relationships. I think it probably could have been more detailed, but it’s a good start.
