Update: Jan 20, 2012 My appologies for not updating this site lately. Flipboard has been keeping me a little busy. I'll try to work something out here soon, but in the meantime, you might want to say hello on Twitter, browse through a few photos here or peek into what it is like designing Flipboard.

geotracker

visit site

geoTracker is an application that provides a visitor-based snapshot of the global weather in near-real time.

As each visitor enters the application they start on a world map at their location, and their current weather is displayed. Then, they can travel around the world looking at information for other cities in other countries. Most importantly, all user's paths are visible to everyone else!

geoTracker was exhibited at Siggraph 2003
