Mash-up: Placeopedia

Fred Oliveira

94 comments »

Placeopedia New day, new (notorious) mash-up envolving Google Maps. Placeopedia is a great mash-up that combines Google Maps with Wikipedia, creating a visual representation of topics by place - thus allowing you to search for articles that relate to a certain location in a map.

Placeopedia tackles the problem with Wikipedia of not having a visual guide to where (in a map) articles refer to. Naturally, it doesn’t make sense to localize every single article, but where correctly used, this may become an extremely powerful (and fun) tool.

    A colleague at the university had try to developp something like this a few year a go with a SVG map and the AFP feed (Agence France Press). http://www.syms.ch/newsmap_reuters/week/news.htm

    But I should say that the use of Coogle Maps is very great. Nice Job.

    There are several attempts out there to document the world, build locative information, thru Google Maps. Ours, Tagzania is one more, in this case by social tagging. Our model is obviously del.icio.us, but applied to maps: users collect and tag geographical locations, instead of U-R-Locations.
