When I first saw this site advertised somewhere, I thought wow, that's a good idea. It is an online music video that takes variable information from API websites such as Flickr, Geonames, and even Google. Alas, the video is actually shit. The concept of using information based on real-world figures is a great idea, yet it really hasn't been done justice in this instance. Rather than use the information to enhance the overall video and get across a message, of which I assumed the song was trying to do—though I couldn't bear to actually listen to his whiny 'Disney-Punk' voice—it merely used the variable figures (or photo in the terribly juxtaposed Flickr instance) as layers that served as a novelty.
Rating 1 star out of 5. And only because it gave me an idea.

I remember seeing this piece as well and 'Yeah wow! This video is gonna be amazing...' but like you said the video was actually shit.
