Twitter Fun

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.

Fascinating! I tried to sign up for the Twitter part in order to participate but my computer was not cooperating when attempting to add my picture. I’ll try again though. It looks like fun!
