Map Monday: track your #@$*ing tweets

If you believe the statistics on fbomb.co, South Africa Twitter users aren’t as foul-mouthed as the rest of the world.

The website shows a real-time map of the world, and animates little explosions whenever its eponymous f word is used. That’s right, every time you say fiddlesticks, because some frakking idiot is annoying you on the road, and tweet about it, it’s put on a map.

We’ve been watching the feed for the last half an hour and, well, it must be a great news day in South Africa – not a single fbomb has been dropped. Conversely, the Brits must be very wound up today – little yellow fbomb flags litter Blighty. It has a far higher density of frustrated fookers than the rest of the world, it seems.

The service uses location data embedded in tweets to determine where bombs were dropped, but we’ve contacted the author to find out why no South African tweets are showing. It goes without saying that as an English-speaking nation we should have our fair share of people who use the word – and that those tweets aren’t showing on the map is just $*%@ing silly.
