There’s a lot of Twitter visualizations out there. Here’s a few that I enjoy:
Twistori
I’m a sucker for looking at real-time or near real-time data. Twistori provides a slice of life, or slice of Twitter, view of how people address express themselves in regards to what they love, hate, think, believe, feel and wish.
You can check Twistori out on the web, or download it as a screensaver for Mac OS X (the screensaver is available at the Twistori site – bottom left-hand corner).
Credits go to Amy Hoy and Thomas Fuchs of slash7. Solid job.
Twitter StreamGraphs
Jeff Clark created StreamGraphs which provides a visualization of the last 200 tweets of the word or phrase, or tweets by a specific individual. StreamGraph also graphs out usage over time for the words that most associated with the seed word.
You can send StreamGraphs links which include the topic you are intersted in. Here’s an example that will bring back the last 200 mentions of SXSW:

I don’t know what’s next for StreamGraphs, but I’d recommend Jeff considers a “Get StreamGraph T-Shirt” option. Beats the hell out of CNN headlines. StreamGraphs are cool, and so are Jeff’s other Twitter visualizations:
Jeff keeps a blog called Neoformix. It’s subheading: “Discovering and Illustrating Patterns in Data.” Yup, he’s addicted.
TweetStats
TweetStats swings back over to the empiracal data side with utility. With just a Twitter username TweetStats provides the following (among other things) in return:
- Tweets per hour
- Tweets per month
- Tweets timeline
- Reply statistics
- What interfaces you tweet from
TweetStats is the work of Damon Cortesi.
Try it: Checkout how Gary Vaynerchuck tweets.
And there’s many more out there… Have a favorite that you use?
