Stunning Maps Show A Day In New York And San Francisco In 32 Seconds

Foursquare, the location-based social network, has put together a series of videos tracking "the pulse" of various metropolises -- New York, San Francisco, London, Chicago, Tokyo and Istanbul -- using check-in data from its users.

Foursquare, the location-based social network, has put together a series of videos tracking "the pulse" of various metropolises -- New York, San Francisco, London, Chicago, Tokyo and Istanbul -- using check-in data from its users. The resulting animated maps are gorgeous, all black backgrounds, stark white lines and neon movement creating the effect of stained glass in motion.

What the maps show is fascinating: cities moving to the rhythm of the day, each with its distinct commute, shopping, dinner, clubbing, bedtime. Transit lines are traced in turquoise, and parks are saturated with lavender.
