What are people photo’ing and tweeting about? And where?
Flickr and Twitter mapped together:
Blue dots represent tweets with location and orange dots are Flickr photos. White dots are locations with both.
Not surprisingly, you see a lot of white dots at city centers. That’s an artifact of population density and Flickr and Twitter users. What’s more interesting though are the areas outside of the city dominated by blue and orange. For example, in the North America map above, the east is dominated by blue, whereas the west seems to be more orange.
What compels people to tweet over taking a picture and vice versa? Or are we just seeing a Twitter scrape that happened in the early morning, before the west coast woke up?

Comparing and contrasting information mapped to the continental United States of America, hence Maps Of the Continental United States (MOCUS).
Feel free to send me links to other interesting MOCUSes.
Urban dictionary:
Mocus - Adj. A state of confusion, often referring to the state of mind brought about by detoxification. Derived from "mostly out of focus."
You need to forgive his blithering; he just got out of detox so he's really mocus.
