As such its linked to a wider look at how cities operate and links in population movement, transport networks etc.

I like the simplicity of the current version, the more complex maps are currently being worked on.

All the text is also harvested and that’s a really interesting issue into how to cope with such vast amounts of data.

More will follow and I look forward to seeing your catoblography, its an interesting field at the moment.

I think you’ve missed a trick (or are keeping better work for later release?). The map is simplistic and that in part is its success but it could offer so much more. It clearly mirrors population densities…how do they vary over time? What do they reveal about London’s population movement? A temporal animated version would be great. And what about the tweets themselves…couldn’t the data be harvested to create a surface of what people are talking about that reveals a contextual landscape of place? What geographies are people talking about (e.g. standing outside Buckingham Palace) and might this be used to reveal some sort of alternative geography to label the map.

As it stands it’s a mix between fact and fiction but then again the 100 acre wood was much the same and that’s a great map.

I’d best stop before I give over all my ideas…given we’re working on some cartoblography of our own 😉
