View Roadtrip in a larger map
Here is a map of a road trip I designed in Google Maps, it's quite the journey.
The website http://personas.media.mit.edu/personasWeb.html provides an interesting and somewhat artistic way of displaying search information, unfortunately though, it's not very accurate. This is what was it generated when I typed my name in:
www.sketchcast.com is a google-esque video sharing website, with all the videos featured being drawn by the contributors. Check http://www.sketchcast.com/view/MB7vBYR for my video (I didn't embed the video as for some reason it refuses to work in my blog).
Along with Sketch Cast, more and more creative spaces are emerging on the web, providing users with information presented through unique methods and new ways to interact with cyberspace. The following are just a few such websites.
http://generatorblog.blogspot.com/ highlights software which allows users to generate various personalised pictures, sayings, and even Phat Rap Names online.
"Mashable" is a "social media guide" which features websites that find niche uses for popular software/websites such as mapping filming locations of Doctor Who on Google Maps.
http://hisz.rsoe.hu/alertmap/index2.phpis an online map which displays current biological, natural, and other disasters occurring around the world. This provides an effective visual representation of information, making it easy to be comprehended by the user.
http://www.speedtest.net/index.php?nojs=1 is a useful tool in checking the speed of a computer's internet connection.
www.polyvore.com is an example of a site which combines elements of online shopping, social networking, and art to create something unique.
