Real time mapping of twitter keyword trends mapped out around the world. Small oddities to consider with these maps, the tweets seem to be identified by internet service providers, so there are groups of words around major cities such as Montreal but zooming down to small towns or neighborhoods won't provide more detail.

Few movies scared me more than The Blair Witch Project. The movie was a word-of-mouth phenomenon.
