"Current events are packaged, distributed, and consumed so fast that there’s little space to think about what’s happening, and less still to act. But 2011 saw people take what was on the front page of The New York Times and trending on Twitter, and launch it on Kickstarter."

futurejournalismproject: Tool of the week: ZeeMaps What is it? A free mapping tool that allows you to create interactive maps with videos and photos. ZeeMaps would be a great way of telling location-based visual stories such as of rioting, Occupy Wall Street protests and severe weather. How is it of use to journalists? ZeeMaps allows you to create maps by uploading data sets or plotting the information using marker points, much as you would using the My Places option in Google Maps. You can then embed your map in a blog post or save as it as jpeg or pdf. It is free if you allow adverts, you can pay to go ad free. Wired Digital is among the news organisations using the tool, according to a testimonial on the ZeeMaps site. ZeeMaps takes the plotting marker points idea of Google Maps several steps further, allowing you to add photos, video and, using the wiki option, to collaborate and ask others to add information. You can either upload data, such as from Google Docs, CSV, KML or Geo RSS feeds, or you can plot the information with markers, as you would using Google Maps, and then export the data as a CSV file.
