Twitter is the social micro-blogging site that allows users to communicate in the time between emails and blog posts. Far from irrelevant, Twitter gained real value in my own experience a couple weeks ago, when an earthquake rocked southern California and I knew about it less than 30 seconds later via a deluge of Twitter updates from my friends.
Twitscoop is a service that scans the global Twitter feed for recurring words and constructs a tag cloud from the most-used words on Twitter. Moving the mouse cursor over the words in the cloud brings up a popup window with a few twitter updates using that word.
Twitscoop is a great tool for quickly visualizing what people all over the world are thinking about right now. For example, right now the cloud usually contains at least a few references to Olympic athletes and events. I can also see this being a great app to leave open on your desktop or iPhone, so you can glance at it from time to time to see what people are talking about.

I also really like http://www.tweetexposure.com . It is visualises tweets round a certain hashtag, including images. Unfortunately it still requires Flash.
