What is This?

My Twitter Weighs a Ton grabs a bunch of your tweets and counts how many times you use any given word.

It groups similar words using the Porter Stemming algorithm. This process reduces words to a common roots, allowing us to identify similar words like “fishing”, “fished”, “fish”, and “fisher”.

This isn't particularly useful, but it is cool to see what other people tend to talk about.
