Just Landed – In 61 Hours
Nerd Alert! This is AWESOME.
“This piece looks for tweets containing the phrases ‘just landed in…’ or ‘just arrived in…’. Locations from these tweets are located using MetaCarta’s Location Finder API. The home location for the traveling users are scraped from their Twitter pages. The system then plots these voyages over time….”
It might be weird but this fascinates me. Clearly, there’s something to be said with the growth of Twitter. I know. I’m a nerd sometimes.
Wow.
Fellow nerd here…
That IS cool!
Brody: I think you got a little too close to the racing fuel fumes in the pits at NASCAR this weekend. Come to your senses! You are starting to scare me.
Actually there is something cool about this…I can’t say what that is, but there is something neat about it. Later.
Any type of new API always amazes me, and must be installed immediately.
well I must be a nerd too because I found it fascinating
What a cool idea…and there is always something to be said about seeing things “visually!”
WOW that IS cool.
Oh no something else for Mupi to be fascinated about! I hate to say this~but you’re right that is pretty nerdy =) But that’s ok cause most of us would have to admit we are a bit nerdy sometimes too. =)
That is cool, I guess that makes me a nerd too.
I guess we are all in the same boat! We are a chatty bunch & that’s just travels! What about the ones I send all day that have nothing to do with travel!? Keep us informed, Brody.
