What is Crisis Mapping? An Update on the Field and Looking Ahead | iRevolution - 0 views

    What is Crisis Mapping? An Update on the Field and Looking Ahead Posted on January 20, 2011 | 13 Comments I last updated my piece on A Brief History of Crisis Mapping some two years ago, well before the first International Conference on Crisis Mapping was held (ICCM 2009). So a brief update on the past 24 months may be in order, especially for a field that continues to grow so rapidly. When I Googled the term "crisis mapping" in September 2009, I got 8,680 hits. Today, one gets over 200,000. If you're curious about the origins of the field and what happened before 2009, my original blog post still serves as a useful intro. I also recommend this recent video on Changing the World One Map at a Time and this earlier blog post on Proposing the Field of Crisis Mapping (also from 2009).

  • Document History TimelineJS can pull in media from different sources. It has built in support for: Twitter, Flickr, Google Maps, YouTube, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Wikipedia, SoundCloud and more media types in the future. Creating one is as easy as filling in a Google spreadsheet or as detailed as JSON. Tips and tricks to best utilize TimelineJS. Keep it short, and write each event as a part of a larger narrative. Pick stories that have a strong chronological narrative. It does not work well for stories that need to jump around in the timeline. Include events that build up to major occurrences.

How to make searchable, Web-based Google charts | Poynter. - 0 views

    How to make searchable, Web-based Google charts Michelle Minkoff by Michelle Minkoff Published June 3, 2011 12:01 am Updated June 2, 2011 10:22 pm A lot of data visualization requires the technical expertise of a programmer and skills that take time and resources to develop. A rise in free tools, however, has made it easier to make interactive graphs in charts, whether you're a designer, developer, Web producer or hobbyist. The Google Visualization API, for instance, gives you options without making the work too complicated. I've created a tutorial below to help you make simple, Web-based Google charts. (You can click on any of the screenshots to go to a larger version.) In the first example, we'll craft an interactive bar chart that compares the numbers of tornado-related deaths in the United States throughout the past four years. We'll use data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which can be found here. (You can download a cleaned version of this data here, formatted as a comma-delimited file, CSV.) http://www.poynter.org/how-tos/newsgathering-storytelling/126595/how-to-make-simple-web-based-google-charts
