This is not on the Top 10 list, only because it receives my "Best Geography Twitter App of the Year Award." This is a great site that combines the power of geography, social media and geospatial technologies. You can map where your twitter followers are (if they make the data publicly available). Additionally, you can pan, zoom and identify specific followers and map their networks. Can you find yourself on this map (followers of @APHumanGeog)?

8. “Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality.”
9. “No man is good enough to govern another man without that other’s consent.”
10. “If you once forfeit the confidence of your fellow citizens, you can never regain their respect and esteem....”
