About urbs.me
urbs.me is a social data aggregator that gathers information from popular social networks and then displays it by city location, giving a broad overview of each city. Currently, 7 cities are covered by the site and more are planned in the near future.
urbs.me was my thesis project for my Media Engineering degree in Espoo, Finland, focusing on APIs, web development frameworks and social media.
