Location of India-Based Contractors on oDesk
My favorite R package, ggplot2, recently introduced enhanced support for choropleth maps. I'd like to make some of these kinds of maps with oDesk data, but as a first step, I thought I'd just plot the locations of all of our India-based contractors by city. In the plot below, dots size as log-scaled by # of contractors reporting that city. The massive light blue dot near Delhi is default coordinate when we're missing the city.

Can't tell if it's the visualization or the data, but the map makes the network seem quite evenly distributed across India. What does the visualization algorithm do when two cities are very close such that their circles overlap significantly?
ReplyDeleteRight now, it just over-plots them (i.e. the points will be on top of each other, though both will be centered at the right point). I think the network is very spread out (surprisingly so, IMHO).
ReplyDeletereally surprising findings !
ReplyDeleteI always thought only south India and other Metro cities in India has freelance developers.
nice work John Horton ! please publish a 1080px HD size map if possible. :)
