ESRI Develops Interactive Map of Occupy Wall Street Protests

As they did for Hurricane Irene, ESRI has developed an interactive map that showcases social media related to the Occupy Wall Street Protests. The map features pictures from Flickr, Tweets, and YouTube videos. Currently, the majority of the content of the map is from the lower Manhattan protests, but the map also displays social media from outside the New York area. It will be interesting to see if the geographic distribution of social media shared on the map spreads as protests have sprouted up all over the country.
