Frank Arrigo?in Australia sent around this link tonight for a Twitter viewer in 3D using Virtual Earth. For more details on this mashup from Genexis, check out Franks Blog. I was just about to write this off as simply another Twitter viewer (of which?a dozen?appeared since SXSW!) but when I switched into 3D mode it became more like a piece of interactive art in my browser than a mind numbing?time suck. [20 minutes later] Correction - its more like an interactive piece of art that is a time suck :-)
?
Here's a few minutes of video of it running full screen, but better yet try it yourself here. For best results, when the?page loads, switch into 3D mode then zoom in a few levels.?Then hit F11 to put your browser in Full Screen mode. and turn off all the lights. Then put Dark Side on, Starting with "Us and Them". its like totally in synch man, way better than wizard of oz.??
