Twitian a guardian-Twitter mashup

I’m a huge fan of the way the guardian picks up and reinterprets new technologies.

Twitian is the latest – essentially the guardian expressed through Twitter – their staff, followers and favourite tweets.

Neat interface and IA, backed up by great content. We’d expect nothing less from the Graun.

Kudos to developer Paul Carvill.

Would you survive?

I love a good map mash-up, and this one takes the mash quite literally… demonstrating how of your city would be destoryed by a nuclear explosion:

– Search for your city
– select your weapon from the dropdown
– nuke it

And when you’ve tired of Little Boy and Fat Man, the Asteroid Impact rounds it all off in suitably apocalyptic fashion
