I just love the sites that feed me information without forcing me to think at all. Since I am sure I am not the only one feeling a bit lazy once in a while, here is one that is especially mesmerizing.

Twittervision uses a map(Googlemap) to plot out new tweets at the location of the twitter user. All you need to do is to is set your Location in your Twitter settings and than you are in the loop. Off course it is quite difficult to know if you have been visible on the Twittervision map and that alone can keep your eyes on the screen for an extra few minutes after you have posted a tweet.

If this does not do it for you, click the 3D view button in the upper left corner. Wow! Look at that globe with tweets popping up all over the world.

I will ask Dave Troy at Twittervision to add some extra features that would get me even more hooked on this. If I don’t ask I will never find out.
First I would like the filtering menu extended, allow filtering on continent, country, hashtags, other peoples followers the people the other follow. Secondly I would like the list of upcoming tweets to be shown in a long row of pearls at the top of the screen. Finally I would like the history aspect on all this. I shall have the option to select from January to End of April with a filter on country Sweden and #piratebay. This would then give me a easy to control, fastforwardable Twittervision movie of the Twitter activity in Sweden on #piratebay stuff during this time. Lets see if he reacts to my suggestions at all.
