Hey. I've made a pretty cool little web app which streams tweets as they happen to you and you can watch them on a map.

From testing I have discovered that Twitter's API is pretty crippled for us normal folk that aren't given full "un-ratelimited" access - so I would really appreciate if you tried it out and tell me if it worked and if not, what didn't. I'm hoping that it works out that multiple of you go on at the same time, which will be the real test.

Note1: It's in Silverlight.
Note2: It's quite BW heavy (although works fine on even 384k) and I am aware of this, I need to do smarter filtering.
Note3: I would suggest that you add a filter in the box else they fly past too fast to even read

Thanks!

WOW, that is amazing, I must say well done!
 
As a fellow Silverlight developer I must say... Brilliant job man! This is awesome!
 
Thanks chaps :)
@Yuu, unfortunately not as it is Silverlight.
@bakersman, gotta get SL the recognition it needs!
 
Update: I have fixed 2 problems:
1) It now uses +-10 times less bandwidth while streaming
2) By mistake I didn't embed the font properly so some text was getting cut off. Should work now.
