Have You Checked Out TwitterVision?

And if plain Twittervision isn't enough for you, try the 3D version!

About Twittervision (straight from their Web site):

A real-time geographic visualization of posts to Twitter. Samuel Morse, meet Carl Jung.

How do I get on Twittervision?

Join Twitter and post. You must have a location and an image defined to appear on the public feed (and to be located on the map).

Along the same line of thinking, now there is Flickrvision, a real-time geographical visualization of pics posted to Flickr.  And, thanks to David Troy (who's about to launch a video version of all this called Spinvision.TV), there is a 3D version of that as well!

I wonder if, in the future, we'll look back at these little apps in wonder and awe, understanding their power and how they truly changed the world.  Or, maybe Microsoft will buy them.  Since Flickr is already a part of the Yahoo family, that might be soon.  I dunno.  But, be warned that these little things are klugey on a Mac (sorry, Apple-peeps).  And, the 3D version is "iffy" right now on my screen.  Despite the tiny little loading problems, I still come away from this thinking the world feels a lot smaller.  Makes me want to sing Kumbaya.
