Mappr
Mappr  is quite literally a snapshot of the nation. Actually, it's lots and lots of snapshots. The clever folks at Stamen Design have created an interactive map of the United States that features photographs recently posted online. Click around the map to see what's going on in Green, Kansas, or Orange, California. The results can be pretty random, from baby photos to standard-issue vacation snaps. The more methodical types may want to use the search feature to find photos that have been tagged with specific words. No surprise here: Pictures tagged with snow or cold seem to be clustered in the Northeast. Then click on a photo and Mappr will tell you just how confident it is that it placed the pic in the right location. We're confident you'll find a surprise at every click. (in Science > Geography) |
