Hi Keir,
ReplyDeleteCould this be used to get people with similar interests tweeting together?
I have created the following map on google for Vinyl Record Clubs in the UK.
As you can see, there is only one record Club in Glasgow at the moment ... poor show. Not being a mapping expert I set things up as best as I could, but I'm struggling to find a way to get people in an area e.g: city to find out about it.
I created the site in response to this BBC article which said "A growing number of music-lovers". Maybe it's just that no-one wants to join a Record Club, but my question is a bigger one;
Can Google Maps + Tweeting be used to meet local people with similar interest... and how would it work?
P.s: That wasn't just for Keir... anyones comments are welcome :)
