Friend Density Maps on FaceBook
Reader Kyle passed along news of a new Facebook app called Friend Density. It does what you’d think - plots the density (thematic heat map of sorts) of where your friends are. Apparently at launch it was not worldwide, but is now.
A few comments on The Wall note that this app is of interest to a few geography majors. Says one:
As a geography major and frequent GIS user, this is the first facebook application that I felt compelled to get!
In other Facebook news, Net Ventures, a Sydney-based development outfit that built “Shout Out,” won Sensis’ app contest and $15,000. It locates friends either as a Facebook plug in or a stand-alone app. The contest is for apps that use Sensis’ Whereis platform.
