Twitterverse

Emily Chang has just announced the launch of Twitterverse, a real-time application that:

displays popular words based on time and popularity. We’re pulling data every minute from the public timeline RSS feed as it updates. The data is parsed by word match, eliminating certain types of words, and a script generates the cloud based on time frame and popularity. 

Very cool, though I think the design can use a bit of help. (Can you imagine a version from artist Jonathan Harris version of this?).
