This project aims to uncover the archaeology of data traces left by social media

Our first release is of city maps based on geo-coded Flickr data.

The timeline interface enables us to 'play' the sequence of locations

We are mapping various metrics like 'date taken', 'view count', 'time of day' and 'density'
