Take a look at some of these global traffic monitoring and stat-tracking websites to catch a glimpse of the internet in real time. The website tracks the amount of Twitter shares a GIF gets in the shortest amount of time and posts them on the site’s Popular tab. You can also browse through the most shared GIFs or check out the Firehose tab to see GIFs being tweeted in real time. It feels like you’re surfing speedily through TV channels, which can get rather dizzying after a few seconds. For that reason it’s more interesting than informative. Of course, you can’t see all searches at once (because that would be madness), but you can get a brief snapshot of some of the hottest searches. There’s also an option to drill down by region, and to download the tool for use as a desktop screensaver. You can review chart information about edits occurring within the past 24 hours, as well as a snapshot of the most recent edits.
