OpenStreetMaps visualization

Posted on February 17, 2010 by stu

Tim Berners-Lee gave a talk at TED 2010 on the initiative to put more data on the web. As an example, he showed this beautiful video of OpenStreetMaps edits over the course of year.  Wouldn’t it be great to have something like this for Wikipedia?
