The other day I wrote about Twitterverse, basically a word burst or tag cloud type view of Twitter, enabling a person to get an idea on what topic, or words rather, are used a lot on Twitter, makes for interesting analysis. Twitterverse also allows you to search the archives, starting April onwards.

I mentioned I’d like to track keywords (even limited to people/friends) via SMS or RSS feed, and this is something Emily from TwitterVerse has on the cards.

Now that we have Twitter keyword clouds and Twitter search, what’s next Twitter Memetracker, I’m sure Matthew Chen of megite will be into this, even for introducing more people to megite, as anything Twitter related lately will get you page visits.

On an earlier post I pointed to TwitterSearch, but again I’d like to generate a feed for each search, so I can follow tweets that contain a certain keyword.
This same post links to a TwitterSearch word burst analysis.

Twitterzone is similar to Twitterverse, with a few more features, besides a Twitter word burst cloud it also has most active Twitters, most active non-human Twitters (auto-bots, RSS feeds), and most popular links in Tweets.
The timeframes for these choices are 1 hour, day, week, month, whereas Twitterverse is just 24 hours (yesterday or today), but Twitterverse has archived search anyway…I guess they could snap shot each daily word burst cloud and archive them. [UPDATED to 1, 5, and 10 hours.]
NOTE: when I click on a word in the cloud nothing happens, I expect to see all posts containing the word within a specified time period. UPDATE: the search is now working.

I mentioned Zoomcloud on a tweet about a week ago, as a way to generate a word burst cloud for your Twitter feed, your Twitter friends feed or even the public timeline feed.

I wonder if ZoomCloud is more concept related rather than word frequency, I’m not sure how Twitterverse and Twitterzone come up with their clouds. Perhaps ZoomCloud is similar to MyFeedz (this is not just a machine tag generator but also an RSS Reader).
Maybe we could employ the concept topic mining methods used by WizAg (formerly Diggol)…let’s not forget PersonalBee.

Anyway, I don’t know about you, but I’d like to pimp up my Twitter sidebar with a few ZoomClouds, one for my feed, and one for me and my friends feed.
Why not throw a calendar in while we are there, perhaps via 30 boxes blog timeline…see more.

Also check out twitter.start4all, another Twitter directory, I listed a few others here.
