Google Mashup - TwitterMap

Posted on March 16, 2007 at 11:12 pm

I found a blog about this new service called Twitter, which is some kind of social networking site where you tell people what you are doing by posting through your cell phone, IM, or through the web. Then if you’re a friend of the person, you get updates on that person the same way, through SMS, email, RSS, or IM! I found it because I saw that John Edwards uses it and thought it was kinda interesting to see a presidential candidate on a site called Twitter!

And now it’s gotten a little cooler because someone decided to write a mashup of Google Maps & Twitter called TwitterMap! A person sends in an update and their location is displayed on a Google map. So not only would you know what they are doing, but you would know exactly where they are!

Also you can just search the map and see where other people are also and what they are up to. So next time you have nothing to do, log on and you might just find a pretty single girl partying at a close by club, which until that moment you hadn’t planned on going to!
