Twitter posts containing ‘just landed in…’ and ‘just arrived in…’ inspired this data visualisation of the worlds air traffic. The origin of the user is obtained from their Twitter bio. This shows 61hrs of the Twitterati traveling the world.
Part inspired by a chit-chat with Katie Chatfield and Ian Lyons this morning. Here’s an idea for a smart airline that wants to raise its green credentials… why not help your Twitter customers offset their air travel. Create an app or # tag that allows users to log their trips. Said airline could then offer to go halves on the carbon offset. Loyalty, talkability, value return – the planet is saved :)
Not to mention the fact that the whole initiative could be brought to life with individual ‘twitter travel stories’ showing a users travel overtime. The stories could be similar to the above – but personal – showing me where I went and ‘what I was doing..’.
User-data-generated clips that I can embed… send to friend and so forth. I mean, I could even merge my photos with the data… and put the whole thing on my mantle piece for the family to see!!!
I want my twitter, flickr, worldmap, gps, realtime data visualising picture frame – or similar.
