As of a few days ago, the pickpocketmap.com home page shows an aggregate map of all the regions that have posts, with a color coding to show incident density. Similar to a heat map, the highest densities of incidents appear the brightest and the lower densities have a lighter fill. I think this is a more helpful view than showing a certain city by default, or all the posts as is on a world map.

As an aside, we’re at two important milestone… we completed 1 month of operations on the 18th, and we have 75 posts! As the dataset grows, and as time elapses, analytics such as % increase/decrease over periods of time etc will be useful, and am thinking will work on those around the 3 month mark. I estimate we will be at around 300 posts by then, although I’m fairly sure there is a seasonal imbalance (fewer tourists in the winter).

Thats it for now, have a good and safe week.
