24 Hours of Geotagged Photos

So, here it is, 24 hours worth of geotagged photos (64,410) from last Monday, March 23rd. Our numbers say that around 30% are normally private, giving us a total of around 92,000 geotagged photos for that day, which is just over 1 photo geotagged per second.

All the data was pulled down (using Processing, of all things) via the API, and probably took around 12 minutes (when it's behaving itself) as I was being a) gentle with the servers b) was getting it as JSON which takes a while for Processing to parse each page.

And then written to a flat file.The code then goes on to read the file back in and render that above globe. Each frame represents 2 minutes, and so the first 720 frames == 24 hours, at ~30 frames per second == 24 seconds to display the whole day.
