Online Media Cultist

Pretty interesting and at times fascinating going on in the so called Twittersphere, that world of applications and services that have sprung surrounding Twitter. TechCrunch,UK edition, points out a pretty hilarious and intriguing one called Tweetmeme, which takes Twitter conversations and presents them in the style of Memeorandum.

I’m tempted to say that Tweetmeme is a send-up of Memeorandum, except it’s not. It’s a legitimate attempt to cluster Twitter conversations and present them in real time, evolving and flowing around buzz words and terms that are making the rounds on Twitter.

I wonder if some Twitterers will be given “influence” based upon how Twitter followers they have, or by how often they’re mentioned on Twitter. And will this influence then be used as a means to be selected as a Twitmeme “headline” more often?

My favorite Twitter mash-up by far, by the way? Twittervision.
