I noticed the same thing. Perhaps it could be an effect of how those populations use Twitter as well? Regardless, this project is awesome, and way too fun to watch. Even if 90%…

Not everything has to have a benefit. This is an extremely entertaining project, something OP worked on over several weekends because it was something he wanted to see exist. No…

The code here is well executed and I think you have a smart idea to tap into the Twitter visual stream...but to paraphrase a famous researcher (or engineer, I forgot which), the…

The gray body text is hard to read on a black background.

Not all criticism is negative. Products are not perfect off the bat, they are improved gradually by the criticisms of the creator and the people exposed to it. In fact, I opened…

It looks cute, but the biggest frustration was trying to click on a thumbnail to see the full sized image, only for the image to have changed in the meantime. I kept half-seeing…

Interesting project. Would be keen to hear about technical details. How real-time is the data? I noticed a lot of repeating images so I'm assuming the data is collected and batch…

Finally launched! can't seem to get it to pause ...should be a keypress..? when photos are lightboxed, maybe pause background? set time between pic changes? Maybe have entire…

Have you experimented much with the timing and layouts? I think I'd prefer repeated images to stay in one spot and maybe get larger. Or would that be difficult to keep speedy?…

Cool project! Here are a couple of suggestions which may help me as a user better understand the "breaking events, popular trends, cultural attitudes, and individual expression":…

I like this idea, and the others referenced, very much. I think there is a huge opportunity here for all photos (and eventually video?) that are geo-tagged. What I would like to…

You should offer a direct link to the started app (without having to click the button). This way users can plug it into websaver or something and make it a screensaver.

Maybe it's just the time of day (9AM EST), but the feed seems to be dominated by Asian (Japanese and Korean, in particular) users. Is there a cycle to this sort of thing or is it…

All i see is Korean/Japanese posts. What's that about?

Anyone still reading this later, here's some more info. I took a nap so am just getting back. The photos are real time. There's no caching on my part. As they are coming in from…

Data comes directly from twitter live. Canvas is much more performant. Your gut is wrong =). Look at the network tab. All data is delivered from the source. I've thought about…

Reminds me of the "WebCollage" XScreensaver - Written by Jamie Zawinski; 1999. :-) http://www.jwz.org/webcollage/ ``` This creates collages out of random images from the World…

Here's a few more: http://www.pingwire.com/ (now defunct, but it was pretty good) http://jellibug.com/ http://picfog.com/ (live stream seems down) http://gimmeshiny.com/ (other…

Cool, this January I've created http://snapkite.com - it allows you to search for mobile photos posted on Twitter + live stream of mobile photos. It does filtering as much as…
