Facebook Map

This map acquired data on 210 million facebook profiles and represented the information by location, with connections drawn between places that share friends. The connections created some interesting patterns that the map maker then used to divide the US into 7 different parts. For a break down of each part check out the site here: http://petewarden.typepad.com/searchbrowser/2010/02/how-to-split-up-the-us.html The map reminds me of the flight pattern maps some of my studio classmates have been experimenting with. Very appealing and cool looking maps. The possibilities of mapping all types of data continues.


The flight pattern maps were created by, Aaron Koblin an artist specializing in data visualization.
