I came across two interesting sites by David Troy, http://flickrvision.com/Â and http://twittervision.com.
 They are both elegantly constructed mashups that automatically match location from Flickr and Twitter to maps. Apart from the pure simplicity, what struck me yet again was how this kind of location based information adds real depth to what is otherwise a photo board or shared SMS service.
Twitter takes on a whole new dimension when “Making my coffee” pings up on the map as day breaks in the US, and watching photo’s appear on the map from Flickr was surprisingly enjoyable.
Of course, the cynic in me is still not sure what practical use they serve, but they are both excellent sites and a worth spending 10 minutes to experience.
