I love data visualisations, and this is a pretty cool heatmap animation from eBay based on all the US shopping transactions on eBay for the Black Friday shopping rush! They mapped every one of the 1.027 million transactions in 33,000 postcodes across a 24 hour period. Very cool!
What a great map to visualize the holiday purchases. Wish we could see this aggregated across all retail outlets or a similar one for Amazon. Interesting to see how down the Midwest shoppers are. I wonder if it’s a function of the poor Midwestern economy or just that they don’t shop as much on eBay as Southern Californians.
Great find Aden. Is there some kind of technology available for this type of stuff? Could see some great visualisations for online communities.
