We all see the occasional check-in on our social networks of choice, but Foursquare took a whole year of them, and crammed them into one glorious minute of glowing information. The whole mess of data is condensed down into a color-coded 24-hour span so you can see how people—Foursquarers at least—dart around their home cities almost ceaselessly, only stopping to rest in the most wee hours of the morning.

We’ve seen stills of a whole bunch of cities illuminated by check-ins, and maybe we’ll get to see a few more of those in motion at some point. But this bite-sized chunk is still awesome in its own right. Kinda makes you feel like you should get out more, doesn’t it? [Co.Design]
