Wednesday, April 11, 2007Twitterverse in the Blogosphere
What bloggers have said in the last two days since we’ve been live:
Twitterverse by Pete Cashmore at Mashable:
“Twitter’s API is spawning new tools faster than we can keep up. The latest is Twitterverse, from design company Ideacodes, which provides a “visualization layer” for Twitter messages. Through the tagcloud interface, you can see which words are being used most on Twitter now, 5 hours ago, 10 hours ago or yesterday. Unsurprisingly, the one thing that everyone on Twitter talks about is Twitter itself, but “taxes” also seem to be turning up frequently.”
Welcome to the Twitterverse by Chris Gilmer at Download Squad:
“Ideacodes has just released a new Twitter fan tool, thet Twitterverse. It allows people to check out what words are commonly used through Twitter. They take data that is available from Twitter’s public timeline and mash it up to create a clean Web 2.0 visual display—much like a tag cloud—of the words by adjusting the type size depending on the usage amount.”
Twitterverse Helps Track Twitter Conversations by Bloggers Blog:
“Twitterverse is an interesting tool that displays keywords that people have been discussing recently on Twitter in an easy-to-read tag cloud layout...It will be interesting to see what happens on Twitterverse when there is a big breaking news event...The search tool will be useful for finding conversations about a particular subject and for ego searches.”
Tweets, Ideas, Codes, and Verses by Andrew Mager:
“The always impressive tag team from Ideacodes, Emily Chang and Max Kiesler, just released their new mashup called Twitterverse...This is the first Twitter mashup that really collects a lot of important data, and makes it relevant to the user. Unlike Twittervision which shows one random tweet as it comes in, Twitterverse aggregates data over time. When you click on a popular word, it brings you to a page showing all of the tweeters who have used the word. Today, the word “Easter” is bigger than most words in the cloud.”
The Twitterverse at Mintyfunk:
“Twitterverse plays off of the Twitter tag line ‘What are you doing?’ and asks the question, ‘What is Twitter doing?’ and it shows you based on the last hour, 5 hours, 10 hours or yesterday. It also can key in on key words in a conversation or a name. Be careful what you tweet, big brother may not be watching you, but twitterverse is.”
New Twitter Tools at Hard Drive Life:
“From the minds of Ideacodes comes this “tag cloud” maker from Twitter’s public feed, giving you a glance of what topics/keywords are being discussed over your designated time frame (anywhere from 1 hour to several days).
Twitterverse.com - What is Twitter Doing Today? at KillerStartups:
“The site just launched, so there’s a lot of development to come, such as a bigger filter on the kinds of words being displayed, but it’s fun to look through. You would never think that some of the most typed words are people’s names. The biggest words are generally verbs like watching, listening, and going. I clicked on “pizza”, a relatively small word in the list (meaning it’s been typed less than others on the list) and was surprised to see a long list already accumulated of people talking about how they wanted pizza or were waiting for it to be delivered. Check it out if you want to see some of the most common words used daily on Twitter.”
What are the most popular keywords on Twitter? at Twitterforum:
“Now you can find out with Twitterverse. Ideacodes Labs has come out with their first project which is a “visualization layer” (think tag / key word cloud for Twitter).
We had a look at the page and the keywords are larger for more popular and smaller for less popular, as in a normal tag cloud. Also the keywords are separated alphabetically by paragraph for your viewing convenience.
This is the first version and the developers have a list of new features that they are looking to implement.
This is going to be a good one to watch. Good luck guys!”
Twitter Twaddle by Paul Kedrosky:
“My biggest takeaway from this funky new data-driven exploration of the Twitter universe is that the biggest topic of conversation on Twitter is ... well, Twitter.”

Twitter Talks About Itself by frivolous motion:
“Twitterverse, a site that makes a fancy little tag cloud of the most-used words on Twitter.”
