The page was just a black background with white text that said "No Photos" for about 60 seconds before it finally loaded the map/photos. As a regular user, I would not have given it that long to load (without any indication that it's even loading), and would have just left.

#35This really is an interesting piece of software, i can see something like this being used for targeted ads; for example, I see allot of car pictures in my area meaning an ad company could only display car related ads if the user was from my area.
This can also be used for stalking. Allot of people take pictures at home and you could be able to find their area by their username.
