Twitter geolocation tags mapped onto Irish roads to show volume of traffic.

Got this from the guardian. It does as it says. Its not a map of where people are using twitter but rather of where twitter is used the most when on the road system. Cant see anything of real interest for Irish people only that the busiest road on the Island would appear to the boat leaving Belfast for Scotland! Or though you could argue that people have more time for tweeting on the ferry. The M7/M8 to cork has a blank spot somewhere after Newbridge with everyone turning off the road to cork to go to Carlow. thus Portlaoise to Clonmel is pretty vacant. 

Next Gen broadband usage in the Republic

Where the next the generation of Broadband is likely to take off. Interesting in that this is in someways the clearest representation of urban Ireland I've come across giving a truer (as i understand them) picture of the sizes of Irish cities and towns. For example Cork city is recorded as having decreased in size in the last census yet the reality is that the small towns (ballincollig, glanmire, carrigaline) around significantly increased. This pattern is replicated in other areas as well. I wonder if city boundaries will be redrawn in the future? 

I have forgotten where i found this map.
