Twitter Friends Network

Neuro Productions’ Flash-based Twitter browser is a cool way to view your connections on Twitter, something that is nearly impossible on the site itself. Start with any Twitter user’s name and the app will load up a circle of contacts, their thumbnail pic and latest tweet. You can click on a contact in that circle and it will do the same, endlessly creating visual connections that people have made across the social networking site as long as you keep clicking. Have fun !

The result is like this …
