Twitter API put to interesting use

From time to time I see some interesting uses for the Twitter micro-blogging site’s API.  I’ve included some of these below which look fairly interesting, let me know what you think.

Tracking UK Holiday Go-ers
Vodafone UK have chosen a hashtag to trawl through Twitter’s many tweets and produce an overlay on Google maps using location data, check it out here.

Top-40 Chart
The more a track is talked about on Twitter, the higher up the chart it features – a more realistic Top-40 perhaps?  Check the chart.

US Election
Leading infographics website FlowingData mapped the US Election by the use of Tweets.

Please leave comments and suggest any others that people may find interesting.
