Obama Travel Schedule Mashup by Dopplr

By thomascrampton ⋅ January 15, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Dopplr, a Web 2.0 travel service that lets you know when friends trips coincide with yours, has done a great data mashup of Obama’s campaign travel schedule.

The intent is to demonstrate the Dopplr service, but it also gives you an idea about the amount of travel on the campaign trail. (92 percent of the way to the moon!)

One of my favorite Dopplr features is where they compare your “personal velocity” to an animal. Obama is six-lined race runner lizard.

    I am not sure I wanted to know what kind of animal Obama is. But the program is great, giving so many information about the places you've visited, how visited they are and what are the most visited cities you've been. Too bad they aren't interested in ways of traveling. It would be interesting to have a study about what mean of transport is usually taken: do you prefer carnival cruise lines or a train?
  • Thanks for sharing dude.
  • great for jotting all up...
  • Want to try my personal velocity too. Hope it's not turtle. Also my favorites stars. Will try.....
