LJ Metro Concentrations

[mcfnord]

I've collected about 57,000 cities from a city field found in LJ user foaf feeds. This field has its problems. It might be blank 90% of the time, people write mumbo jumbo in it, and people often write the same city's name more than one way. Still, it can sense large city names.

These are the most common cities among actively-posting LJers's:
