Trendsmap mixes Twitter Trends and Google Maps

Twitter Trends, whether you find them useful or not, are a rich and interesting set of data to work with. The problem is that you can't narrow it down much: trend data comes Twitter users around the world, with no way to filter by region. Trendsmap combines Twitter Trends with Google Maps to add that ability.

You can zoom in and out on the map to narrow your view of trends to the area you're interested in. Clicking on an individual trend gives you more info, including how often people are tweeting about the trend, and additional links and media that might explain why it's popular. Trendsmap even pulls information on each topic from the Twitter Trend explanation site What The Trend.
