Basically, you put in your address (no names or anything) and answer a series of questions about what areas you consider yourself "drawn to" in your region.

This looks like an interesting idea, especially looking at their present maps after a few thousand entries.

Anyone have any ideas how this kind of information can be used, other then to see exactly where people look to when it comes to cities/regions?

well I'm unfit to post as I'm not American, but I looked at that map and just thought

"Wow what's wrong with that? It looks a lot like Europe!"

We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.

Fernando Pessoa, 1918
