For a long time, people have heard me going on about being able to plot Upmystreet Conversations on maps, and there was an article in Guardian Online today where I'm still going on about it. I rapidly got very disappointed with the quality I could get out of the supposedly professional GIS software I was using, and so I've been talking with my incredible friend Adam, who thinks in OpenGL faster than normal people do in english, about ways in which we could do this properly. I think the final app will be truly awesome, and that's going to remain under wraps til ETCon, but he sent me his first pass this morning.
Each Conversation is plotted in a different colour. At this level of zoom, you don't get to see much of the local activity, but I think it still looks pretty cool.
