A World Of Tweets

Frog Design have come up with a nifty, real-time visualization of geolocated tweets around the world.

A World of Tweets is all about playing with geography and bits of information. Simply put, A World of Tweets shows you where people are tweeting at from the past hour. The more tweets there are from a specific region, the "hotter" or redder it becomes.

This continuous collection of Twitter statuses also allows for the presentation of other interesting visuals as well as statistical and historical data about the tweeting world we live in.

Through the activity of Twitter users it is possible to tailor a new map of the world that evolves during the day according to the time zones and the spreading of mobile technologies.

Flickr Focus - Brighten Up Your Presentations

Here is an interesting tool called Tag Galaxy that demonstrates image association with a product, company or term.

In this example we type in a country name; Singapore.  The galaxy presentation demonstrates those sub categories of images that are associated with the principal term.

The next step is to select either the principal "planet" or one of its satellites by double clicking on it.

Images are pulled from Flickr under the search term.

The completed visualisation can be rotated and is a useful tool in demonstrating image association with a product, place or service.

A screen shot of the graphic will also brighten up any corporate presentation.

And here is another handy tip.  If you plan to upload whole albums of images to Flickr why not consider using a free tool like Bulkr to make the task easier.
