Props to the folks at Stamen Design, this is gorgeous. - mobilehavoc, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10I'll get dugg down I'm sure but....
I don't get the appeal of Twitter at all..who really gives a ***** what the hell you're doing at this moment??? When did our own lives get so boring we need to now know every mundane detail of other people's lives??? - kingkool68, on 10/10/2007, -2/+7It's Friday night and we are commenting about a Digg story on Twitter. This is how boring our lives are.

- tempusrob, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Gorgeous indeed, but what does it *do*? I guess since I don't use Twitter it won't make much sense to begin with, but help a guy out here...
- Jakerius, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Stamen Design does amazing work.
- TomCarden, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2That's a pretty good explanation. If you're a Twitter user, go take a look at your 'with others' page. Then imagine the 'with others' pages of the first ten users there, turned on their side and overlayed on top. So this is a visualisation of intersecting timelines.
Granted it's not the most succinct concept in the world but we're happy with where it ended up and we hope you enjoy playing with it. Disclaimer: I work at Stamen if that's not clear. - bradpurchase, on 06/12/2008, -0/+2It's confusing and definitely not easy to grasp on the first view, but Blocks is just a new way to view recent statuses, and the people you follow's follower's status' as well (that sentence was surely a confusion in itself...).
It truly does let you explore Twitter - I've gone pretty deep in the timeline of statuses with it.
It's also very visually enhanced. Props to Stamen Design! - thorpus, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2The guys at Stamen Design do great work!
- ketha, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I hate twitter but i don't really have any friends who would use it, or be able to.. perhaps for the 'tech' community. I can imagine it being a total fad though...
- fkr3, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I really hope these gimmicky visualisation "tools" don't take off and spread much further. They're amusing for a few seconds but who can be arsed but the novelty wears off quickly and permanently in my opinion.
- wellyuk, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Buried for twitter being a completely useless website.
- Anonymous3, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Wasn't the original point something like "know what your friends are up to"?
- kingkool68, on 10/10/2007, -3/+1Twitter launches Blocks and I am confused -> http://www.russellheimlich.com/blog/twitter-launches-blocks-and-i-am-confused/
- TomCarden, on 10/10/2007, -4/+1Soon!
- martin308, on 10/30/2007, -4/+1So where are they? I checked the site and there doesn't seem to be anything there :(
