ReTweetGraph

I launched a new site yesterday, it's more of a proof of concept (i.e. does this actually work) than anything else at the moment


If you're on twitter, and I know some of you are, there's an option called "retweeting" where you send a message you received from someone to all of your followers, similar enough to a chain message in email, only in this case you can track the progress of the message (or "tweet" as they are called).

Bearing this in mind, I set out to see if I could plot the progress of a tweet as it passed between users on a graph.

Turns out, I can, and did and now so can you - http://retweetgraph.appspot.com/

You can only create a graph if you have an account with twitter, but anyone can view the gallery of created graphs
