I could get lost in Flickrvision for several hours if I allowed myself to do so. It’s certainly more interesting than anything television has to offer these days — unless you’re into the Phil Spector case, or anything else that’s absurdly disconnected from everyday life.
The interesting thing about it to me, isn’t really that it’s updating in near real-time via a Google Maps mash-up (although that is pretty neat). The interesting thing to me, is that it offers a unique global perspective from all participating cultures on the planet — whether common or uncommon. The most obvious, if you watch it long enough, is you see how common we all truly are — just living our lives day-to-day, trying to find happiness, trying to find meaning, sometimes just having fun or expressing ourselves.
