At Twittervision.com the beginnings of what could be a fresh trend in internet self-expression are being spelt out on a map of the world.

Users of this addictive new website can see a text bubble flash up over the state of Arizona with a picture icon of the sender “Chilblane” inside. “Resetting all of my album art,” it says. The world map spins over to Sydney, Australia: “Waiting on my girlfriend to come,” says CJH2. Then to Tokyo: “Keep snoozing, can’t start my day yet,” says Nobi. “Twitter – the reality TV of the blogosphere,” comments LoveHouseRadio back in Richmond, Virginia.
