User Centered

I thought the real time map showing you items being purchased from the Zappos.com website, and where the are being ordered from is pretty entertaining. Okay- mildly entertainy, granted, but I let the page stay open for a little while to see what folks in the twin cities were ordering- which led me to thinking that it would be be neat to just see what trends are in a region, but this map isn't intending do do anything other than give you a snapshot of the Zappos world at any given second, and that's just fine. It's like a Zappo's heartbeat.

I think this certainly qualifies as a social recommender.

Voyeur-tastic.
