Stunning Aeiral Map Of Twitter And Flickr Users Activity Around The Globe

Posted: 30 Aug 2011 11:54 AM PDT

Without reading any kind of description you would believe that these maps are showing the continents at night, but that is not the case. The lights are in red/orange, blue and white, and they are showing Twitter and Flickr activity. Pretty crazy, right? So you can easily see who is the most active of the states in U.S. and the countries in Europe.

The blue lights stand for tweets, the red/yellow ones for Flickr pictures, and the white for locations that have been posted to on both Twitter and Flickr, like an overall activity.

As you may see, there are some crazy activity in London, which can be seen detailed in one of the photos. While Twitter is going nuts in the United States. This is the work of Eric Fischer that has combined data from geotagged photos from Flickr and geotagged posts on the network Twitter, and this is what you get. He thought that it was best to show these two continents because the Internet usage is most prolific. Fantastic idea and great photos, we definitely like it.
