Trendsmap is a site that visually maps out common focal points in the Twitterverse.

It gives a Google map view of one's area or region dotted with dozens or (in Spokane's case, just a few) names and topics being moved about by tweeters.

It's not yet all that smooth. It's beta. I like the idea; hope someone shapes it forward. Too many rough edges.

I know other apps do similar things. The effort by Trendsmap is to identify growing areas of discussion and then show it mapfully. A side breakout panel shows the actually sources of the tweets and their postings.

Score: C. Should improve over time
