Blog reader + Screensaver + World Map = Twingly
April 30th, 2008 - Posted in Around the Internet, Concepts |All I can say is try it…
You’re not going to find anything useful, but the concept isreally cool. Millions of blogs posts streaming to your computer screensaver as the world spins around. My laptop could not handle the screensaver. It was really jittery, but they do have a standard mode you can open from your start menu which was nice and smooth.

I like the ideas of information getting spread on sources outside of normal paths. There is another screensaver that I like called Electricsheep. Electricsheep is open source and allows anyone to create animations for it.

I love this. It is a great use of data visualization. Its up there and or better than the data visualization in Digg Labs.
These tools are not only cool looking they are going to become a very intricate part of our interactive lives as the semantic web starts to unfold.
