Tweetping is a freshly launched data visualisation of all Twitter activity on Earth, and  the site's epic concept has a beautiful execution to back it up. Created by French web  designer Franck Ernweinan, Tweetping represents every tweet in the world as a bright  pixel of light against a dark density map. The planet sparkles with social media content  in realtime. There’s even a dashboard of streaming global statistics and hashtags,  broken down by continent.

Last April we wrote about Wind Map, a similarly design-forward visualisation of weather  patterns in the United States. Both projects give elegant form to huge live data sets.  But in contrast to Wind Map’s calm organic aesthetic, Tweetping suggests the wildly  firing neurons of a racing human brain. Watching a planet’s worth of tweets flash by, the  comparison to a manic mind feels like it fits.
