MentionMaps - Visualising Twitter Networks and Their Interactions

Here is another example of the developing area of information asthetics. Information aesthetics takes any sort of data from maps to statistics and converts the data inot visual information. Here is a good place to start explore this field.

MentionMaps is a network visualization that allows for the exploration of one's Twitter network. Users can discover which people interact the most, what they are actually talking about, and what people are relevant to follow on Twitter. Mentionmap loads each user's Twitter collection of recent status updates (or tweets) and parses the names of people and hashtags they talked about the most. Mentions are represented as linear connections, and discussions between multiple users emerge as clusters. Selecting a user will display their network of mentions as well as further details gathered from their profile.
