Twitterfall tracks Twitter trends and more in real time


Twitter Search is great at tracking trends, but you have to refresh your search page manually when new results appear. Twitterfall solves that problem by cascading tweets with popular keywords or your custom search down the page in real time. You can also log into Twitter to put your friends' tweets in the mix, or just view them by themselves.
