Stateless Systems

Trendsmap.com is a real-time mapping of Twitter trends across the world. See what the global, collective mass of humanity are discussing right now. Whether viewing the world or just your neighborhood the Trendsmap uses Twitter’s Open data stream, GoogleMaps, and the website www.WhatTheTrend.com to superimpose the area with constantly updating keywords. Clicking on a keyword accesses a feed of the tweets in the area containing the keyword and then provides a live update stream.
