He is using it as a demo to track the people who tweet updates (see stats also) at ongoing php|tek 2009 conference.

It is a little application called TweetGenius and is simply awesome.

The design is great, except 2 minor things I did not like.

First, the welcome screen is simple and concise:

The application looks a lot better in OS 4.5, compared to 4.2, the screens you see on their site are not updated. One more reason to upgrade your BB software…

What I don’t like the ugly bubble where you subnit your tweet. I mean, the developer did an amazing job with all the details except the most used part: submitting your tweets into a nice elegant popup that a BB simulator will make it handy for you.

Same with the search. A limple window with a small and elegant search image will be a lot better. In fact, you can use the same element to either tweet or search, just change the images for each page…

Other then that, the program is extremly elegant, the best out there. Buy it now, it is half price for the next 2 weeks.
