Twitter Code Swarm is a very interesting visualization of the explosive growth of Twitter as a development platform. The video below illustrates the amount of work it takes to build something as seemingly simple as a website that lets you publish 140 character status updates.

The “recording” period starts in April 2006 and ends in January 2010. Enjoy!

Did you noticed the music playing? Have you played the Braid game?

P.S. Project code_swarm is also available on Google Code and github.
