Zoomii - Amazon Bookstore Visualization
Have you ever wanted to browse the bookstore shelves online? Zoomii is a visualization where you can do just that. To quote the founder, "Why Zoomii? Because I love bookstores. Spending afternoons wandering the shelves. Happening across great books I didn't even know existed. But it's an experience I never found online. Online bookstores are wonderful. They've got amazing prices, huge selections, and they're open all the time. If you know exactly what you want, they're perfect. But somehow I kept coming back to the bookstore just to browse. Zoomii is my attempt to bring online as much of the real bookstore experience as possible." The application was created by Chris Thiessen. NIce job!

Twitter Spectrum - by Jeff Clark
Twitter Spectrum is an application that is built with Processing and shows the conjunction of two words on Twitter. As Jeff states, "I've slightly improved the Twitter Spectrum application so that clicking on words used in conjunction with both terms properly use OR in the query. I also changed the default search terms to 'from:jasoncalacanis' and 'from:scobleizer' to show how you can compare the tweets from two users rather than related to two terms."
