All your digital breadcrumbs in one place… A program aggregates all your location based information and plots it on a map.
A new software tool created by Greek programmer Yiannis Kakavas goes much farther in the shock category. Called “Creepy,” Kakavas’ tool makes it easy to gather all the location-based digital breadcrumbs that people leave online and plot them on a map. The map and associated time stamps make it easy to discern their routines — “It looks like Bob goes to this coffee shop every Friday morning around 10:30” — a tool of incalculable use to a would-be stalker. For Web users who loyally leave breadcrumbs everywhere (“Now at Whiskey Bar!” “Now at Park Diner,” “Finally home”) it’s
possible to recreate much of their daily lives using Creepy.
