MAPPEDUP
last update: 20.08.2007 | print this page
MappedUp is a Flash application that geographically displays an RSS news feed. You can insert your own feeds, one from Flickr, or use an aggregated feed from the accompanying website mappedup.com. If a feeditem contains images or movies, they are shown directly inside the app. MappedUp constantly checks its source feed at runtime so any newly released articles immediately pop up.
History
MappedUp started out as my graduation project at the Design Academy in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. After my graduation, I started working on both the personalization of the worldmap and the supporting website. Time, additional programming and hosting were provided by my colleagues at Studio FKKC.
Embed
It is very well possible to embed MappedUp into your own site/blog/profile as well. Here are small downloads of a 600px version and 450px version. You can use any RSS feed as a source, as long as its items are geotagged (like here). Take a look at this example that shows all earthquakes from the last seven days:
