I gave an Introduction to Apache Accumulo<http://www.slideshare.net/jaredwinick/introduction-to-apache-accumulo> presentation last month at the Boulder/Denver Meetup<http://www.meetup.com/Boulder-Denver-Big-Data/events/55277392/> where I demoed an application that used Accumulo to provide real-time and historical access to words/phrases seen in Twitter messages as well as daily trend analysis. I finally got the demo polished up a bit and running on Amazon EC2 where it can be found at http://trendulo.com.
Trendulo is still pretty Alpha at this point so please feel free to add to the existing documented issues at https://github.com/jaredwinick/trendulo where you can also obviously find the source. As an example, the following link will show the launch of Instagram's Android client, followed by Facebook's purchase and then a small increase in general "chatter" about the product http://goo.gl/XcCG8 Let me know if anyone has any questions or comments. Feel free to tweet @trendulo any interesting searches and I can retweet them out. Jared
