Paul Mison’s random stuff that doesn’t go elsewhere. Is it microblogging, or microactivity?

The geographical patterns that emerge are expression of the diverse demographics that compose the social landscape of the capital. In the map, each party’s individual shares are mapped onto a gridded population cartogram of London.</blockquote> <blockquote>It is important to keep in mind that each of these patterns stands for considerably different total votes.</blockquote>http://notes.husk.org/post/21665819173http://notes.husk.org/post/21665819173Mon, 23 Apr 2012 21:56:00 +0100imagemapcartogrampoliticslondonukbenjamin d hennig
