Very neat: a heat map of NYC, extracted from Flickr geotagging information. Red indicates photos taken by "locals" (people who stick around) and blue indicates "tourists" (people who don't). The yellow ones can't be easily put in ether category (still thinking through this one). But amazing how a simple criterion like that can basically get it right.

wonderful...
Pretty unsettling really, to find yourself linked into someone's flickr page and be looking at family photos, kids and Christmas tree, a parade of preschoolers, little girl kissing Mommy. Hard to suss the "meaning", a terrain so virtual, yet so intimately real.
Thanks.
