Monday, April 27, 2009

"Mapping the World’s Photos" (pdf, researcher) is a paper based on an analysis of some 35 million photos of landmarks uploaded to Flickr. Researchers have identified popular tourist photo traps (the Apple store is NYC's 5th most popular), but also some other interesting behaviors: "Although [Amsterdam] is the tenth-most photographed city, relatively few photos are taken in its top ten landmarks." New Scientist has the story.
