The Beat Shows Geotagged Instragram Pictures w/ Google Street View

have you heard about The Beat by Rutgers’ Social Media Information Lab? The site uses Instagram’s API to tie geotagged photos to their physical location captured in Google’s Street View. The site lets you filter images by hashtag, so you can search for pretty much anything you want and the site will return a constant stream of Instagramed pics, as well as the Street View location at which they were taken. So, that is what $1.5 million in federal grants can do when it comes to new computing applications. Stalkers around the world are rejoicing!
