According to the new Social Networking website that relies on Google Maps to point out smelly places in the world, Tokyo must be the smelliest place on earth.
That is, until you realize that the site is in Japanese, and that it is almost brand new. Of course, those of us that live in Tokyo, and have good noses, would be the first to post sites. Each flag is color coded, depending on the type of smell.
Google Maps is being used for numerous applications. For example, in San Francisco, they link together the location of searches on mobile phones for key words like flu or disease to try to map out a progression of a breakout and where it might be headed.
Only would the Japanese think of applying it to avoid smells.
