The always impressive tag team from Ideacodes, Emily Chang and Max Kiesler, just released their new mashup called Twitterverse.

The application builds a cloud of the most commonly used words on the Twitter public timeline. Way to make an already addicting product even more interesting

This is the first Twitter mashup that really collects a lot of important data, and makes it relevant to the user. Unlike Twittervision which shows one random tweet as it comes in, Twitterverse aggregates data over time. When you click on a popular word, it brings you to a page showing all of the tweeters who have used the word. Today, the word “Easter” is bigger than most words in the cloud.

It will be interesting to see how Emily and Max tweak their algorithm in the next few weeks. If I had one suggestion, I would remove the @s and make the cloud fit on one page so there is no need to scroll.

Excellent mashup though, as expected from the talented folks at Ideacodes.
