Trendsmap Shows Trending Twitter Topics

Trendsmap is an exciting new Twitter mashup that blends Twitter, Google Maps, and What the Trend to create a real life map that shows what's going on near you—or at least what people are tweeting about near you. Not surprisingly, election talk dominated Twitter in the area today, with #bostonelection, @mayortommenino, and @samyoonformayor all near the top. Trendsmap conveniently launches an internal popup to show recent tweets on popular topics. It's an interesting service that might help point you to local trends, assuming you generally live under a rock, in which case you are probably not on Twitter anyway.
