My Twitter Mosaic

Here's yet another Twitter mashup.  It doesn't offer much of value other than a cool visualization of your friends or followers.  Here's my followers as of today.

Update - This particular Twitter mashup makes a separate GET request for each avatar image.  This adds about 200 requests to the page.  When this post is on the main blog page, with 9 other posts the total number of gets is quite high and slows the page loading speed.  I've moved the actual mosaic to it's own location

 

Unfortunately it's a statically generated list from http://sxoop.com/twitter/mosaic.pl.  It would be very easy to do the same thing using a bit of javascript and a JSON-P call to the Twitter API.  Hmm... It would look cool with a jQuery coverflow plugin.
