Twitscoop
Encyclopedia
Twitscoop is a web-based Twitter
client and buzz-tracker. Like other Twitter
applications it makes use of the Twitter
API to allow users to send and receive tweets, and do multiple real-time searches at the same time.
Twitscoop's algorithm identifies tags and keywords in the Twitter
stream and then ranks them by how frequently they appear versus normal usage. Twitscoop detects growing trends in real-time, identifies breaking news and then monitors specific keywords along with graphs that display the activity for any given word on Twitter
. The results are also displayed in a tag-cloud, where the hotter tags are presented in a bigger front.
Twitscoop also provide an API for third-party applications, which is being used by TweetDeck
for instance.
