Google Map: Santas Vs Zombies

This is a project by semi-serious scientists:

Mark Graham and the team at the Oxford Internet Institute (who’ve mapped zombies, every geotagged picture on Flickr and languages used on Wikipedia) looked at key words geotagged on Google map as part of their research into the state of the internet. Graham, who also runs the blogs floatingsheep.org and zerogeography.net worked with Monica Stephens, Taylor Shelton, and Matt Zook to look at the amount of content indexed by Google Maps at each location containing the term “Santa” and then comparing it. To zombies and Satan.
