The site is largely an experiment. If useful I'll make sure it stays up. I'm mainly interested in using Natural Language Processing techniques to determine relevant content in order to filter through social streams. As a heavy twitter user and developer, I'm scratching my own itch.

Hey congrats on doing this. NLP on tweets is not trivial at all given just how colloquial it is. I like being able to navigate a visual map of what people are talking about.

Thanks. I've had to develop custom corpora for handling misspellings, netslang, SMS slang etc... even with this very early demo I have ideas which I haven't implemented. The next releases should do a considerably better job.
