GeoTagCloud
A geolocated tag-cloud for all the flickr photographs that have been placed within Valparaiso, Chile. The size of the text relates to the frequency of use of each tag in each position (not the overall frequency). This is part of my MArch thesis, and makes use of James Clarke’s flicker.py to retrieve the data.
If you look at the full size version, you can make out the streets in a light grey line. The light-blue area is the bay.
What I think is interesting is the way this constitutes a distributed, spontaneous semantic layer in actual space. It would be cool if you could have people generate these tags in real time, without photographs as intermediaries.
My next step is to correlate this data with the 3D Visibility Graph Analysis.
