Tweetping - all tweets on the world map live

Tweetping is an interesting project from Franck Ernewein , which takes a stream of tweets from the Twitter public API and places them on a map, counting the words and letters in tweets along the way, and displaying the last mention and hashtag.

Since it takes tweets from the public API, only about 1% of all generated tweets are shown on the map, but this is quite enough to draw a beautiful map.



UPD. You can make a cool screensaver out of this thing using WebSaver (OS X) . Option for Windows (I have not tried it myself) - here .



Implemented on Nodejs + Socket.io , Processing.js and Backbone.js .
