Sitegeist

Sitegeist | Emergent Digital Practices | Scoop.it
Ground yourself with data. Understand and uncover the identity of your location with a tap.
Conor McGarrigle's curator insight, December 13, 2012 9:34 PM

Sitegeist is a mobile application that helps you to learn more about your surroundings in seconds. Drawing on publicly available information, the app presents solid data in a simple at-a-glance format to help you tap into the pulse of your location. From demographics about people and housing to the latest popular spots or weather, Sitegeist presents localized information visually so you can get back to enjoying the neighborhood. The application draws on free APIs such as the U.S. Census, Yelp! and others to showcase what's possible with access to data.
