TwitScoop Shows What’s Buzzing on Twitter. Awesome.

July 7, 2008

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

It is so cool to see some of the sites which are built atop Twitter. These are sites that could be integrated with Twitter at some point to create one of the best social platforms ever devised. It looks like Summize is being bought by Twitter, but this one emphasizes the "right now" nature of Twitter.

It is TwitScoop.

TwitScoop creates a "right now" tag cloud of what is going on on Twitter.

As I type this at a bit after 10 PM EST, the show Bachelorette just ended. I know this because my wife was watching it. Sure enough, I see that as a tag in the tag cloud, along with Deanna (the lady on the show). Also, a lot of people are saying "goodnight" to the followers. A lot of people are talking about the Red Sox, too. Also, is there another earthquake going on?

On the right side of the site, you can also see the hot trends on Twitter at any given moment. The possibilities to something like this are countless. News buzz? Market research? You name it.

Its a bit like a Techmeme for Twitter.
