Interactive social media visualization

The usage of social media is increasing day by day. People use the social media platforms to communicate with their friends or other users and to share the things are interested in such as photos, texts, videos on their profiles. Also, many people share their thoughts on where they are and what they do by attaching location information in social media platforms mostly. The shares that have location information are called geo-tagged posts in social networks. The posts are using in lots of researches for social media analysis in recent years. The number of such studies is increasing with the popularity of social media platforms using location. When these studies are examined, we have realized the lack of visualization of interactive mapping researches. Due to, we propose an interactive tourist map that displays the selected geo-tagged images which are gathered from Flickr using latitude and longitude information of images on web based map. The main purpose of this study is to detect and show the popular locations and events according to geo-tagged images of users in Flickr on the map.
