First Fruits

After 14 hours, I have first data on “coworking” on Twitter.

The Flash plugin is required to view this object.

As the Twitter Search pwner runs against the query results, the pwner updates the data used to created the chart.  This happens once an hour, so check back often.

Pwnserver is a tool I created to undo some of the damage that has been done by Web 2.0 business models that encourage us to share and store valuable data online, but don’t or won’t provide tools for easily getting that data back.  You know who you are.  (Note, Twitter is not, IMHO, such a company.  However data is data, and Twitter provides a great, easy first case.)  That pwnserver can be quickly repurposed for research projects like this is a wonderful added benefit.

Pwnserver will be released as Free Software once I clean it up.
