@mericson of the @nytimes on alternatives to geographic data visualization

Looking forward to exploring this.

Nevada = Sudan. I can kind of see it, I guess.

using Ushahidi to report crimes in Nairobi: "Hatari can encourage the government to provide more data to the public, and push closer to something like Data.gov"

"Google Maps users can now find local businesses. This could be a burger place in Lagos, a garage in Kampala, a hairdresser in Accra or an airport shuttle in Dakar."

An animation showing edits to the OpenStreetMap.org project during 2008. // Pretty freaking awesome.

This makes me want to go find some geographic data just so I can make it look pretty.

thinking of all kinds of ways to use this

survey data from over 300,000 OKCupid users, analyzed & annotated, with pretty infographics

"Google has now launched detailed maps for several countries in Africa - Maps that are searchable and contain rich information of geographical features, roads, landmarks and other attributes."

Al-Jazeera's using Ushahidi to help report the war in Gaza.

Help Google create better maps of Africa.

pretty sweet example of what can be done with a little bit of cell phone technology

on the list: the White House, Novi Sad, and the village of Yona in central/eastern Guam

Includes a map of ethnic migrations in Kenya since the elections
