This is cool. Very, very cool.
Someone has apparently scraped Orkut for name and city data, and mapped the results to a satellite map application. You can put in a latitude and longitude, or a zip code, and see all the Orkut users who've listed that as their home.
Worth re-reading Tom Coates & Stefan Magdalinski's "UpMyStreet Conversations" paper from EtCon 2003, for some mature perspective on mapping digital networks and conversations to the real world.
