I built 'h34t' - shows a realtime heatmap of where people are in the city (search iTunes Store for it).
Snapchat just paid $300 million for the same functionality. They could've bought it from me for a lot less ;)

Maybe that forced Snapchat to spend more money? :)
The app has gone a bit into hibernation lately, so the activity has waned.
Thx for checking it out though!
I built the full stack by hand. The iOS is Obj-C and the backend is NodeJS/MySQL.
Basically, the MySQL DB has checkin data (provided by users or from social media networks) pivoted on metadata (male, female, age) and then passed to a custom visualization algorithm on the mobile device.
Happy to answer any other questions.
