Got the travel bug?
Every few months, I get hit by the desire to travel - usually to some bizarre place that the average person wouldn’t wish to go to. It’s the adventurous spirit in me I guess. What have been your top trips over the last 12 months? London to Paris? New York to Sydney? Sydney to Hong Kong? When you’re on a plane, ever wonder where your fellow travellers are headed to? Well, wonder no more. Dopplr is a social networking site and online tool for travellers, weary or otherwise. It’s been going for about a year now and the site has some socially-generated maps that are really interesting, which they refer to as Raumzeitgeist (The spirit of Spacetime).
For the geeky amongst you who like data and graphs, there’s a lot to keep you amused. For the visual people like me, here’s one of the maps showing where Dopplr users travelled in 2007.
