Description
Hello all
This is a interesting single-purpose site alert.
It's called Tweet Ping, and it is a visualization of all the tweets in the world, as they post in real time.
It also has some cool tracking features at the bottom, like a live tweet counter for each continent and well as hashtag trackers. It allows you to do fun little unscientific experiments like calculate the number of tweets rolling in per minute, and extrapolate that into tweets per hour, day, and year. For instance, for one minute in time, it counted roughly 2,400 tweets worldwide. Do a little math and if the TPM stayed constant, that would total about 1.26 billion tweets per year. People sure are tweeting a lot.
You can check it out here

EXPLANATION:
This is a post-worked screenshot of the site wanted the image to give the impression of streams of information flowing through these normally invisible super highways and byways of the world and that we are all interconnected in the world.
BTW I have my reasons but I neither Tweet nor Facebook.

You REALLY NEED TO PLEASE ZOOM IN to SEE the FINER DETAILS. Each of the SINGLE TINY Blue lit Pixels is an INDIVIDUAL TWEET.

just getting on line exposes you to the world .. not even land line phone calls are exempt from tracking these days. an awesome map. interesting to see just where the tweets are happening in the world, and where the majority of them are.
