Twittaround is a promising iPhone application, which shows where Tweets are coming from in an augmented-reality “kind of way.” It works pretty simple – start the app, point your iPhone anywhere and see whether someone’s Tweeting in the neighborhood.
The application is still not in the AppStore and will probably be available once the iPhone OS 3.1 is released (as it contains some important APIs for AR apps).
On the hand, there’s Layar, a company which showcased its AR offering at this year’s Mobile 2.0 Europe in Barcelona. They are partnering with local Twitter search provider Tweetmondo to add some microblogging love to its client. From what I’ve seen, these guys are onto something, though at the moment, their application is available for Android handsets, only.
Anyway, I just wanted to cover these two interesting companies and show you how they’re “using” the Twitter phenomenon to make our reality augmented.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
