• What's the world listening to?

    July 8, 2010

    A while back I crafted a Processing sketch that displayed a map of the world and popped up the most popular artist for the country the mouse was hovering over. Bored last night, I decided to give the newish Google Maps API a whirl and see if I could recreate the sketch for the web.

    It uses fxb's javascript-last.fm-api library which made the artist lookup incredibly easy. The whole thing took no more than 2 hours.
