Twittervision : real time map
Twittermaps has a new feature called Twittervision.
What you get is the latest Twitter updates popping up (with the author’s avatar) in context of a world map.
If the people I follow had an OPML, well actually I could just put in the Twitter feed of the people I follow and limit this map to just the people I’m interested in.
Going back to my post on Twitter tours about a Melbourne Twitterer who posted quite heavily for 5 hours on a walk home…this Twittervision would of been great to zoom in and watch.
Someone plotting their walk on a map by posting content (location and content in the one SMS), all this without GPS.
Imagine if you could MMS to Twitter (see nowthen), photo’s, audio, video.
Someone could be on a 5 hour hike and they could send a post with text/audio/photo every 5 minutes…I could track all this on a map (even Google Earth) and feel like I’m there.
[ADDED 21/03/07: Twitter : what about following keywords]

Am loving Twittervision!! I am not so sure about Twitter alone, but the mashup with the map really does it for me. Will come back tomorrow and explore this slideshow project of yours some more.
