Just enter your Twitter account information and get back a whole lot of charts and graphs based on your account. Here’s the results from my account to give you an example.

Visible Tweets

This image doesn’t do this service justice. You really just need to check it out. Head on over to visibletweets.com, enter a keyword or two, and click go. Tweets will start animating themselves across your screen. Fades, fly-ins, raining characters, and other animations will make something interesting to look at. I will say this isn’t a way you want to read tweets regularly but I could see setting this up as a way to display interesting tweets to a large group at an event via projection.
