Display Your Twitter Friends on a World Map

Today I started thinking about how cool it would be if I could see the locations of my Twitter friends on a Map. After spending some time Googling for such a tool I was only able to find one, and interestingly enough it only became available a few days ago.

I came across this post by Andy Murdoch who has created a Yahoo Pipe that puts nice pushpin representations of all your Twitter users on a map of the world. It also allows you to scroll through them displaying their names and Bio’s. Also, since it’s a Yahoo Pipe you can embed it into your own site.

Here’s an example using my Twitter account.

    Great, another thing to do with pipes that can suck up my last remaining spare seconds :)

    This is a really great find!
  • Any idea if the generated twitter map is live? In any case this is pretty neat!
