The document describes a geotag-based web app called InsideScoopApp that helps tourists in New York City discover popular local spots by analyzing the ratio of geotagged tweets in NYC compared to worldwide and identifying locations that are tweeted about more frequently by locals than tourists. The app works by gathering geotagged tweet data from Twitter and place data from Google, storing it in a MySQL database, and using tools like Python, MySQLdb, Flask, TwitterBootstrap, jQuery, and AWS to analyze the data, build a predictive model, and develop the web interface.
