Twitterfall is a way of viewing the latest 'tweets' of upcoming trends on the micro-blogging site Twitter. Updates fall from the top of the page in near-realtime.
Unlike other sites, Twitterfall purely does trends (for now). Because of this, we can be efficient - Twitter is queried from the Twitterfall server, and results are pushed to your browser, rather than your browser doing the queries, or your computer polling our server repeatedly.
Select a trend on the left, which are updated every few minutes (if you are looking at a trend that is no longer popular, you will receive a message in the stream). Various settings are available on the right. Hovering over an update stops the stream.
Twitterfall is powered by Perl, JQuery, and Meteor Server. And of course, Twitterfall is powered by Twitter.
