]]>NowPublic]]> launched an interesting new feature called Scan. First, they aggregate data from sites like ]]>Twitter]]>, identi.ca and ]]>Pownce]]> in near real-time. Then they aggregate the information, filter it by keywords, geo-locate it, and conveniently present it on a dashboard. Like that, you can see what is happening in different places around the world.

Being ]]>the sucker for statistics that I am]]>, I asked Michael Meyers (CTO, NowPublic) to setup a special ]]>NowPublic Drupal Channel]]> so that we can have our very own ]]>NowPublic Drupal Scan]]>. Michael did, so check out the Drupal Scan at ]]>http://www.nowpublic.com/tags/drupal/scan]]>. It is a great showcase of what can be done with activity streams or lifestreams, and with Twitter data specifically. What is not to like?
