I am very skeptical when new social networking tools are released. Ever since Twitter arrived, I have been curious to what people are really using it for. My pessimistic side wanted to investigate the rampant use of foul language manifesting itself via Twitter. This piece was presented as s real-time Twitter feed visualization. It would perform a constant search of the entire tweet database to see who was using the word ‘fuck’. This video is a short excerpt of the live visualization.

Watch the video in HD on Vimeo (so it’s actually coherent).
