Twist – Twitter Trend Graphs
June 4, 2008
I played around with Twist today. It’s a charting tool similar to Google Trends that lets you compare the popularity on various terms in Twitter posts. It might not be an accurate representation of the real pull of the populous, but it is interesting to see what twitchy tech folks are obsessed with from day to day. I first learned about Twist from a post Kara Andrade did with a chart comparing Obama, Clinton and McCain, but I thought it would be cool to test out trends in the Twitter hive mind comparing four words from the classic Godfathers song to create a Birth, School, Work, Death chart.
Yeh, you guess right… “Obama” and “Work” are the winning terms with the Twitter crowd
