Following #egypt on twitter 
Trying to follow all the keywords relevant to the egypt crisis can be very difficult. The updates sometimes come in so quickly that it is impossible to read. I've tried it first, tracking all keywords directly. The opportunity to actually provide a useful service is great, so I have installed a special egypt events tracker on
http://egypt.twimpact.com/It tracks retweets that contain the keywords and ranks the keywords over time. All this is done using
Mikios new "squid farm" trending system. This is not even starting to cratch the surface of its possibilities; but who cares. We will install it to track a few million topics on
twimpact.com later on.
It's actually streaming the latest tweets directly to all subscribers. The latest updates are there, a tag cloud showing the relevance of the keywords over time and the trending rate within the last hour.
What's next? I am going to install a link trender to track all links and if I get it working a picture stream from the twitter data.
