Mappy News, le site "read the news on a map" fait une pause.
Plusieurs explications:
- Google Site est sorti mais n'est pas vraiment un outil adapté à faire un site Internet mais plutôt un wiki/intranet. Le site peut-être public et pourrait être intéressant: je trouve que l'intégration avec les autres produits Google sont encore trop limité. L'inclusion de nouveau module demande encore des manipulations comme des copier-coller de lien...
- Google Page Creator n'évolue pas beaucoup dernièrement. Je rencontre quelques problèmes qui rendent la mise à jour et le développement du site trop fastidieuse, alors que cela pourrait être d'une facilité déconcertante.
- la présence de concurrent assez costaux. (j'en ai présenté certain sur ce blog)

Silobreaker
Mapped up is an interesting application. But Silobreaker is totally different. and much more impressive!
It's acutally "an online search service for news and current events that delivers meaning and relevance beyond traditional search and aggregation engines. Its relational analysis and explanatory graphics provide users with unparalleled contextual insight into the news stories of the day."
The website is quite complex at first, and that's not a good thing. but once you've actually understand what you can find here, I bet you'll be amazed.
I haven't seen it all. Of course, my favourite part is the "hot spots"... the map.
Just have a look by trying out these links:

Just have a look by trying out these links:
Explore Hot Spots:
| Crime : | Bribery/Corruption | Murder/Manslaughter | Cocaine | Gun Crime | Internet Crime |
| Disasters & Accidents : | Natural Disasters | Man Made Disasters | Hurricanes | Flooding |
| Health & Environment : | Epidemics | Global Warming/Climate Change | Water / Food Safety | HIV/AIDS |
| Politics & Social : | Elections | Human Rights Issues | Poverty |
| Threats : | Terrorist Acts | CBRN / WMD |
| Organizations & People : | Al Qaeda | Condoleezza Rice | Red Cross/Crescent |
Mapped Up
Watching the concurrence...
Mappedup.com is "an indespensable tool for the global newsjunkie". Have a look. it's quite interesting. it's based on RSS, and automated algorithm localizing the items.
It's not really only a website(although there is a full screen view, and personalizing tools online), it's actually "an application that tracks a large number of RSS news sources and displays their latest items on a world map, geographically and in real-time." When you want to download it, the application is whether a screen saver or an "active desktop" (something to put as a wallpaper, in the background of windows)
First time i tried, I couldn't actually sign up. this time, it worked.
one thing i don't like is the map, it's not very precise. The good thing is you can add the RSS feeds you want. that's actually something very difficult to do.
MappyNews is focused on "mappable" news. Many things that mappedup maps are not interesting to see on a map. and the automated localisation is not reliable at all.
