Ever since we launched our popular Twitter visualizer, Twistori.com, people have been asking us for a way to have their own Twistori with their own keywords.
Twistori Desktop is your own personal Twistori, for any and all keywords and keyword clusters you might want to search for.

Combine those search words in playlists (we call them clusters) to group them together.”
