eBay Black Friday Heatmap Visualisation

Posted by andyh on 04 December 2009 | View all posts | Previous | Next

A fascinating but scary heatmap data visualisation from eBay of every single eBay US shopping transaction - there were over 1 million in 33,000 different postcodes -- during the 24-hours retail frenzy of Black Friday.


PS. granted this was all second-hand stuff, but even better if they were all buying NothingTM instead ;-)
