When Pop Culture and GIS Collide

Was really surprised yesterday when I looked at site statistics and saw traffic was 4 times normal. Intrigued I took a look at the most recently created maps and found this:

Cruise Itinerary for MI3 on 5/3/06

Apparently somebody created an “Itinerary” for Tom Cruise’s launch of MI3 and posted it online. Is it real? Well I guess that doesn’t matter to the following celebrity news outlets that linked it:

gawker.com
bestweekever.tv
fark.com
gothamist.com

I don’t know what to say… I am, uh, happy for this? Although celebrity news to me is equivalent to the lowest form of spam, I am glad people found a use for the batchgeocoder for something unique.

Everyday is a suprise…

REMINDER: Any map you create on batchgeocode.com will not end up all over the internet unless you want it to. Links are not published in any form, so it is up to you to keep them to yourself or distribute them if you’d like.
