Creepy 1.94-Extract location data from tweets and photos

*Creepy* is a simple application that takes Twitter and Flickr user names and
will extract geolocation data from these services. Ever wonder how much
information you're actually releasing to the public when you geotag a photo
or check in on Foursquare? Creepy will help you *see where you've been* and
the location information it has found from your photos or check-ins. Creepy
is super easy to use. Enter in a Twitter or Flickr user name (or both) and
let it search. It might take a while if the user has a ton of tweets and
photos. Once its done searching, you'll get a *map of all the locations it
found* and a list of locations sorted by date. Creepy is actually a very good
tool to use to *see where you've been and to read past tweets*. Within the
list that Creepy provides, you can right click and open up *Google Maps* to
see the exact location. This is great as Creepy has trouble rendering
locations on maps, often becoming *pixelated or not loading at all*.
*Overall, Creepy is a good tool to find publicly available location
information from Twitter and Flickr but could use some work on performance
and fixing its map loading issues.*Download *Creepy 1.94* in Softonic
