The effect is the same as in those photos taken from the space where you see the night lights of cities, which draw a merciless confrontation between the economically advanced countries and the rest of the world. This is the graphic design made by Eric Fisher who shows how the messages posted on Twitter and all the photos uploaded to Flickr are distributed on the Planet. Or rather, they are actually are concentrated in Europe and in the United States. By analyzing the geographical origin of the updates and placing a blue dot for tweets and an orange for your photos (white is where there are both), the geography of the world evolves as shown in these breathtaking photos.

So that's what the social network looks like!
Deve essere uno spettacolo vedere la Terra dallo spazio :) Peccato pero` per l'inquinamento luminoso...
Grazie per la visita e no, non sono io. Magari essere ancora cosi` giovane e spensierata! ;D
Buona notte e sogni d'oro!
Interesting study. Not surprising where most of the activity is.
I read and liked the Atkinson book you post as your current read.
