Links on Twitter and Mapping

I've been coming across lots of interesting mapping links recently. This has not been entirely accidental. Maybe that might come to something one day, but in the meantime here are a few of the things I've found...

• A news map of Britain based on clicks on bit.ly links over at The Guardian
• If the UK isn't a grand enough scale for you, check out this global newspaper map.
• Geofeedia: Interesting new tool to track social media news content based on location-based searches.
• Map of Wikipedia edits from Europe anyone?
• Or what about a time-lapsed history of Europe map over the last 1,000 years?

Mapping the Earthquake in the UK

Today, just for a bit of fun, I've decided to set up a little social media experiment. I'm asking people in the UK to send me their postcode and a short description of their experience of the earthquake.

I'm uploading these onto a Google map to try to get a picture of the range of the earthquake.

You can view the map here.

If you want to participate you can send an email to earthquakemap@hotmail.co.uk.
