Unit 1 Nature and Perspectives of Geography. This is a map of all of the geotagged twitter posts from 2009 to now in the United States. Its shows population distribution and points of interest that people like to travel to. It shows dense population centers and highways. You can see the roads in the map because of space in the map not covered. The brighter colors are in higher population and more popular travel destinations. This is a map of many types. This map is a part of unit 1 because it is a map of a basic geographic concept. This map is a functional map of sorts because it shows points of travel that people go to, but it is not varied by distance so it is not a precise version. This map is a definite example of a thematic map because it shows the story of the travel destinations of five years of their lives. |
This remains true today. We still firmly believe that social media is changing not only the news but fundamentally how media works everywhere, and we've seen this reflected in the stories that more than 850,000 Storify users have created so far.
