This document discusses building real-time GIS applications using Twitter data. It presents examples of client-side Twitter apps that can monitor tweets in real-time. It also describes server-side solutions using ArcGIS Server to integrate Twitter data by searching the API, geocoding tweets, performing GIS analysis, and publishing results. Real-time Twitter data provides value when mapped and analyzed with GIS tools due to geolocation and advanced analysis capabilities across many clients.
