A great way to see what’s hot and being talked about on Twitter right now.
Currently hot trends seem to be ‘tornado warning sirens’, ‘coldplay’ and ‘jaerd subway’. (Hey, I don’t try to explain it, I just tell you about it!)
In their own words:
Twitscoop was built to help you stay on top of twitter’s hot topics or discussions.
Through an automated algorithm, twitscoop crawls hundreds of tweets every minute and extracts the words which are mentionned more often than usual. The result is displayed in a Tag Cloud, using the following rule: the hotter, the bigger (no joke here).
Thanks to twitscoop and the continuously growing twitter user base, you will soon realise that “What are you doing ?” can have very different answers, from “I’m standing in a queue of 500 to buy Gta4“, to “Was that just an Earthquake ?”, through to “Hey, Microsoft just acquired Yahoo” (no this didn’t actually happen yet).
As a result, twitscoop enables you to stay on top of things in a matter of seconds, often way before the news actually hits the mainstream information channels !We could tell you how we combined cutting-edge financial markets mathematics with Ruby and Jabber magics but we won’t. We’d rather have you tell us what doesn’t work in our algorithm by sending us an email to feedback [at] twitscoop [dot] com – we know we still have a long way to go and are prepared to work on it.

It will be interesting to see what business terms come up here in future.
