We'll see... not a huge number of visitors yet, but I thought Friday evening would be a good time to get an announcement out, since it shouldn't gain traffic too fast. It's on a hosted server and I want to be able to keep an eye on the resources it consumes, since the hosting company limits bandwidth and CPU cycles. I guess I'm most curious to see what people end up using it for. "What are people talking about on Twitter" is not something I imagine will have any staying power - too broad. It might be a way for people to discover people they want to follow on Twitter. I'm aiming at identifying communities of shared interest and perhaps creating feeds for each of them.

Tweetsnet beta
The social network analysis I've been doing on Twitter turned into a new site called Tweetsnet (http://tweetsnet.com) that shows web pages that are hot topics on Twitter. It's a blog, with a feed. It updates every 10 minutes or so with the five highest scoring, previously unpublished, web pages being talked about. Each post shows the page title, summary and keywords (as tags) if available, and frequent two-word phrases that appear in conjunction with the page citations. It's still beta and I'm still deciding where to go with it. Your thoughts, etc., are more than welcome. I'm considering similar feeds with a vertical focus. I'm also thinking of splitting out the pages that are cited by the big, popular aggregators, since they're already well-known. A lot of what is showing up now is news, so I'm also wondering if I can automate a comparison to something like Google News to see what the differences are.
