This is actually a really cool way to explore an area via videos. Some of the videos aren't really related, but keep clicking and you'll get one. Great tool!

Would be awesome if you could switch videos (like tv channels) with your arrow keys once a location has been clicked. Other than that, GREAT mashup!

I live too near Washington DC to get anything but global politics out of this.

EDIT: actually, it's been videos from Russia Today 3 times out of 4.

I believe it's showing you videos created by someone at the location you click, not showing you videos with content based on where you click.
