We won a mashup award for Tweet Volume and think it’s pretty cool. Check it out and spread the word about our fun interactive tool!




Wowza was awarded the Mashup of the Day Award on April 17, 2008 for Tweet Volume, a fun, free interactive buzz metrics tool that we unveiled in May 2007.

To our surprise, a Tweet Volume fan nominated the mashup for this distinct honor. Utilizing resources from Google’s search engine and Twitter’s open API to capture and compare data points, Tweet Volume makes it possible to identify popular brands, words and phrases used on Twitter.

MashupAwards is a hand-picked display of the best mashups, or websites with a unified interface and experience created from at least two web data sources, and are awarded on a daily and monthly basis. In order to be considered for and receive a Mashup Award, the mashups much excel in each of the five areas: uniqueness, creativity, utility, content, and user experience.

I can't believe I hadn't found Ted.com before yesterday when, through word-of-mouth of course, Will told me about a Michael Pollan video. Ted.com is filled with 20 minute videos of really smart people lecturing on a variety of interesting subjects. I was almost late for a meeting because I started watching a lecture about one of my favorite books, The Paradox of Choice, by Barry Schwartz. Here is a wonderful talk by Amy Tan on creativity. Enjoy.
