Unless this already exists, in which case you’ll tell me, right?

I want a “trending topics” list for just the people I follow on Twitter.

I want to be able to login somewhere and see a word cloud of what my friends are talking about this morning, what memes are going around, whose birthday it is, etc. And variable by time period, so I can see what my friends are tweeting about this week, this month, or just overnight.

I’m giving this idea to the universe for free…who can make it happen?

This is an interface question that Twitter interface designers should want to tackle, along with URL-elimination, and in general, filtering/sorting/tracking of flexible friends-list activity.  This stuff shouldn’t be particular to Twitter either.  I should be able to have one “Dashboard” or whatever — it’s up to the interface designers to be creative on that front — to see what’s happening on Tumblr or Twitter or Facebook or Digg, all mixed together however I like, and instantly sift and resort my friends activity by groups, tags, post-type, etc.

See my previous post for the WTF.  (Has that become my tag line?)

This box is to answer Mike’s question.
