NNN Global
NNN Global is an interactive 3D globe that plots every /now page listed on nownownow.com. It visualizes the global spread of people sharing what they are doing right now, turning a directory into a geography.
What problem does it solve?
The nownownow.com directory is a long list of links. It tells you nothing about where these people are or how the movement has spread. NNN Global turns that list into a map, revealing the geographic distribution of people who share what they are doing right now.
How it works
The globe plots every /now page from the nownownow.com directory using the author’s listed location. Spin the globe, zoom in on clusters, and click individual points to visit each person’s /now page. The visualization updates as new pages are added to the directory.
Whom it’s for
Fans of the /now page movement, people curious about the personal web, and anyone who wants to see where in the world people are writing about their lives right now.
