Today's Featured Company / Person - Trendsmap - It's interesting to look at trending topics on Twitter to see what's new and has captured public interest, but Twitter is a big place with millions of tweets flying around. Trendsmap drills down through the data to see local trends. Trendsmap is a mashup of location-based tweets and a map interface. You can zoom, pan, and jump to locales to see what the trending topics are. Clicking on a trending topic pulls up an expanded menu that gives you additional information about the topic, media related to the topic gleaned from the tweets, and of course the tweets themselves beneath the additional information.

Today's Featured Company / Person - FeelHome - If you would like to easily access, edit, and save files across multiple computers, free application FeelHome allows you to share files across operating systems and over the web.

Today's Featured Company / Person - TypeWith.me - If you like Google Wave's real-time collaboration but not the interface or registration, check out TypeWith.me. It's a solid, simple, as-you-type document collaboration webapp with no sign-up required. Each online document has its own unique URL you can share with others for real-time co-editing, and there's a small window for chatting on your edits. TypeWith.me helpfully assigns different colors to each author so you can easily track who's typed what, and the app instantly synchronizes as you type so changes appear in real time. When you're done, export your work to one of six file formats, including Word, PDF, and HTML. Google Wave users will see a lot of similarities between it and TypeWith.me, but this simple app has an easier learning curve.
