Ask HN: Twitter users - is this useful?
I hacked together a real time visual representation of which of twitter's topics are trending the most. Is this useful/interesting?

- struppi 15y agoIt looks really nice, but I am not sure what I would use it for. But maybe that's just me. Anyway, I find the idea quite interesting!
- qrlawified 15y agoThanks for the feedback struppi!
- dholowiski 15y agoInteresting - Absolutley. Useful? Not so sure. Although if you're job is social media you might want to keep this up as a dashboard. I guess you could make it useful by letting me enter a big list of search terms, then display the matching tweets in the same format... companies might use that.
- qrlawified 15y agodholowiski - that is a great idea!
- ohashi 15y agoNothing happened for me. Left it open for a few minutes and it still just said loading.
- qrlawified 15y agoohashi - do you mind me asking what browser you were using and what country you are in? Thanks!

- qrlawified 15y agoPerfect - should be fixed now... www.twndy.com
- pspeter3 15y agoI think it would be more useful if you could somehow display the top tweets in each box so I could get a better sense of the topics at the same time.
- qrlawified 15y agopspeter - thanks for the feedback - what would you think about having a space for tweets on the far left hand side of the screen as opposed to in the box? That way you would click on any box and the tweets would appear on the left?
- pspeter3 15y agoI think that would be good as long as it was very clear in the UI that that was the expect behavior. Is there a way to get top tweets from a twitter search?
- qrlawified 15y agoGood point re UI. I can check re top tweet - that way the first thing you see could be the top tweet...
