Twistori, The Pulse of the Web
by Ivan Vaghi on August 6th, 2008
Amy Hoy, web2.0 designer of Slash7 fame, and Thomas Fuchs, the scriptaculous guy, have created a nice piece of interactive web art called Twistori.
Twistori allows you to feel the pulse of the net, by tapping into Twitter messages and find the ones that contain emotionally charged verbs: LOVE, HATE, THINK, BELIEVE, FEEL, WISH. You click on a verb and you enter the stream of consciousness of twitter-space, colored words scrolling on the black background, showing what people are loving, wishing and feeling right now on the net.
