Portholes, Twitter and Flickr

Are you as confused by social media as I sometimes am? Here is a whole new way of looking at it - the porthole of trends.

The internet is a very busy place. Things happen quickly and it can be easy to get a little bit lost in all the words. So this page from the design company pumkin.co.uk puts a different spin on things web-by. In essence a popular conversation on Twitter is matched to photographs from the sharing-site Flickr and then made into a composite image in the shape of a porthole - a sort of glimpse into the workings of social media at a certain date and time.
