Your Twitter Ears Are Burning

Introducing the SteamGraph, a new visual gizmo that tracks words resonating in the Twitterscape:

The StreamGraph shows the usage over time for the words most highly associated with the search word. One of these series together with a time period are in a selected state and coloured red. The tweets that contain this word in the given time period are shown below the graph. You can click on another word series or time period to see different matches. In the match list you click on any word to create a different graph with tweets containing that word. You can also click on the user or comment icons and any URL to see the appropriate content in another window.

So you plug in "Daily Dish" and get the following results:

Somehow, "Andrew" became "Andre." Put any random word in the mix and you get a visual representation of recent twitters. Kinda cool if you've got nothing else to do but listen to other people chatting.
