- kelnos 12y agoYeah, I had a similar reaction. The only novel thing I can think of here is the idea of using publicly-available photos on Flickr etc. to try to automatically rank the beauty of parts of the city, to avoid having to crowd source the data. Otherwise, yeah, it's just assigning weights to different street/path segments based on perceived beauty rather than some other metric (like amount of traffic).
