Okay, let’s be clear – this “Live” map of books being sold and being displayed real-time is kinda geeky and cool but for the most part pretty useless.

The idea is from The Book Repository and is created using Google Maps; and it displays where in the world someone has bought a book from The Book Repository. The information displayed is the where the person doing the buying lives, the title of the book, and how long ago it was bought.

I’m pretty sure this isn’t something you’ll end up bookmarking but it is a fun way to waste five minutes.
