I saw the “Twitter Mosaic” on renagerie.com, who tipped the hat to libragirl. Evidently, this tool creates a bunch of HTML code you can stick in your blog that creates a mosaic of your followers.
So, I did that, and here are my comments / questions so far:
- I thought it would give me a simple graphic to host on my blog, but it actually generates a bunch of links and image tags that go to Amazon’s system. That means that when you go to a blog with a twitter mosaic, it’s actually pulling images from Amazon’s S3 service. That’s both weird and cool – weird that I need to depend on an outside system to be working for my blog to function; and cool because it reduces the load from my server.
- I couldn’t find out the logic behind the order – is it using the number of @replies? Does it count how many tweets that person does? Is it taking into account any “favorites”? Is it anything but random? Maybe it’s the order in which you followed people or the other way around…
- Evidently you can make the mosaic from followers or friends, so I guess you can rate your level of narcisism.
- This reminded me, but only a little, of the wordles I made from all my tweets. I feel like doing that again for some reason, but for some other reason I won’t.
Without further ado, here’s my twitter mosaic:
This was fun!
Ok, in case you actually wanted to see my real twitter mosaic, here it is. I had to delete some of them because they were, how shall I say… too graphic? One of them was a not-so-flattering snapshot of Britney Spears.
I must say, your first Twitter Mosaic is probably the hottest, most stunningly sexy and good-looking Twitter mosaic I’ve ever seen!
Oh… and just so you know, people were saying nice things about you at ConFab. 🙂

Dave2 – saying nice things about me at Confab, eh? Did any of this happen to get on tape? (and by tape you know I mean by digital media)
Were they saying how good I am at selecting blog friends? 🙂
Is it just me or are you a follower of Dave2 on Twitter?
.-= martymankins´s last blog ..Literally Challenged =-.
martymankins – I tried following “Dave” but I missed out, so I got “Dave2”.
For some reason I am strangely entranced by the picture where Dave is wearing the cutesy red bonnet.
Can’t… look… away….
.-= Janna´s last blog ..Reasons Someone Might Need A Shower =-.
Janna – you should read his blog entry about where it came from and how he rocked Avitaween last year.
I couldn’t get my eyes off of the one of the bonnet either.
.-= Robin´s last blog ..Alls I Need is a Bunnyhug and a Hoodsie =-.
Robin – if I was a bunny I’d hug you
I like the second one better. I’m on that one along with all the cool kids. It’s like when I was in high school except this time I’m included.
marilyn – yeah, I’m glad you’re there too. and you’re one of the few people who participate in utterz, which I appreciate.
