"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.”

"It was just the other day when I mentioned that we need a visual way to see what topics people Twitter about, something like tracking popular keywords, the word burst type of thing. Well this has been answered by delving into the Twitterverse, see the word bursts for the day or yesterday in the cloud. Track the Twitterverse throughout the day to see how topics change over the day, or how their impact lessen or grow.”

"Just looking at Emily Chang’s post about putting together all of her online output into one data stream and it’s a great concept.”

"I like its simplicity. Some people are asking for comments, but I don’t think Tumblr need them. It’s more like a personal ‘River of News‘. The feeds import feature reminds me of Emily Chang’s My Data Stream. With Tumblr you can add ad hoc posts to the stream.”
