Tracking Trends on Twitter and Google Maps
Trendsmap is a new service that features real-time mapping of Twitter trends across the world. Trend topics are the most popular keywords on Twitter and are marked with a hashtag. Users can scan trend topics across areas and see what people are talking about in a specific geographic location.
Created by Retail Me Not, Trendsmap incorporates the power of Twitter, Google Maps, and What The Trend. Clicking on any of the trends brings up information on the volume of tweets for the word, a description of the trend, a list of users, and relevant links.
I’m seeing trend topics like lobster in Nova Scotia, Kennedy in Boston, freezing in Colorado, tablet in San Francisco, Britney Spears in Los Angeles, Yankees and NYC in New York, and a nationwide of good mornings.
