       | out might be more useful & a good dataviz compliment to Tweeview

       | Additional things you could display under the map:
       | 
       | -Breakdown of which countries and cities have the most friends
       | ("mutuals" in Twitter terminology)
       | 
       | -Time to travel to the top 5 nearest ones
       | 
       | -Top 5 furthest from you
       | 
       | -Average distance
