Livehoods

Excellent research project from the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University.

"Re-Imagining the City in the Age of Social Media: Livehoods offer a new way to conceptualize the dynamics, structure, and character of a city by analyzing the social media its residents generate. By looking at people's check-in patterns at places across the city, we create a mapping of the different dynamic areas that comprise it. Each Livehood tells a different story of the people and places that shape it."

Maps, I can't get enough of them......
