This is cool. As a heavy Instagram user and someone who's worked with their API before, I'm curious about how far back in time you're going with photos at a given location.
And a comment: many of the photos showing around me (Cincinnati, OH) seem to be misplaced, some a half mile or more from where their actual location is. I'm judging this based off knowing what store the photo is taken inside of.
Thanks. Sometimes photo can me misplaced for thousands of kilometers, for example when user posts photo from his recent travel being at home, but most of the photos are pretty accurate :)
This is great! Nice, fun interactive project. Worked really well for me (Haight Ashbury in San Francisco), guess it makes sense that it would work best in tourist areas
How was it integrating Google Maps and Instagram APIs? Haven't looked at Instagram's yet
Lack of privacy makes part of social media genetics, but normally the 'voyeur' (in lack of a better word) has to dig to explore it. Here he doesn't need to: everything is exposed. It's scary..
I would like to use your website without telling you my location. At least on safari, I'm unable to do it. The request for my location keeps reappearing after clicking no.
