It happened to me a bit earlier - I think I had to force refresh or something.

I fixed it I just removed the IE detection detection. (The demo doesn't support IE 8 and less) Thanks for the report

I have no idea what use this could be to anyone, that being said it was extremely cool to zoom in on my little town and see five tweets going out from people just on the estate I live.

*Edit I've just realised this is a demo show the power of http://v3.maptimize.com/ which is very cool.

Correct, I worked hard on that new version and I thought a lot before finding the idea of that demo to show what you can do with maptimize.

I really like that tweet demo. You can find a lot of interesting information, like tweets in your area as you said.

The heatmap is also interesting when you need to analyze huge amount of data like this.

You can also see where twitter is very active. I was surprised to see that Indonesia is very active.

Maybe other people does not appreciate your work, but my girlfriend (who study marketing) and me have gained some insight about Twitter users and countries with Internet access [1].

Great work and thank you!

[1] I know this last is arguable: In some countries, Twitter is not the main microblogging service.
