@shakeshack is a simple application that takes information like who is standing on line and count them and creating a line chart. Vinney and Whitney.

ReTweeting on Twitter and placing it on a globe. Again, it’s hard to parse unstructured data. The creator is a former NYU student from the ITN program (whose Winter Show I just went to a few years ago).

Co-Tweet adds language to help use the Twitter data. Should Brandsbelong on Twitter? Keep it human but real, and created a dashboard to handle multiple accounts and can assign messages to different users to follow up. Searches can also be run and in multiple windows and the API will be opened up soon. Also, they have developed a “co-tag” to help identify users within the system.

What are you Trading .. StockTwits shows who is the expert unreal time and can transfer the info quickly. What it matters is the history of what you said. Who has great ideas and who is on top now? Twitter is like Poker, it’s popular because anyone who wantsto sit at the table and pay the entry fee, can.

Gregory Gallent – Shorty Awards, can nominate any Twitter Handle. The idea is to make reccomendations on who is best on Twitter. There are 25 official categories, etc. There are 1500 unofficial categories, 3 day celebration in NYC next month.

Klout -measure influence across the web. This a pretty interesting. The K-score is a numerical and shows the people you influence and who influence you. Follow @klout to get on the private beta.

Botanicalls – Twitter and Plants (I heard of this one over a year ago). They have a DIY kit that Twitter. I guess when they get 2 way communications with the plant that will be something!

I think this has been one of the best meetup I’ve been to, and it was all focused on Twitter. I like Nate’s “juicing the system” phrase focusing on communications between communities and forming a “community” committee to ensure that. Maybe I’ll try to nominate myself for it.

Also there is a Board of Directors for the NewYork Tech Meetup.

There’s also a party nearby after the meetup, which, I’ll go to.
