TwittEarth Shows Tweets From Around The World

TwittEarth Shows Tweets From Around The World: "There is no question we here at Mashable love Twitter, so we of course must check out every new Twitter mashup that comes along. Here comes another, which appears to have launched rather recently. TwittEarth brings every Tweet for which it can find a geo-location to life on a screen-sized model of Earth, complete with snazzy lighting effects (dormant, from what we can gather). Each tweet is represented by a bite-sized graphical creature/avatar. Think of it as TwitterVision on speed.

The whole mashup was designed by Digitas France SA. As the globe spins, you get more and more of the little creatures, each displaying individual messages, which I imagine, if left running long enough, would cover every inch of land mass that is visible. When one appears behind another, it blinks to signify which is talking, but then you can’t make out its location. The globe is unmovable, so you can’t browse around, and the avatars serve no real purpose after their initial talk as clicking on them gets you nothing. But hey, it’s eye candy. Like eye candy? You’ll probably like TwittEarth."
