#web maps

The Washington Post creates dot density + choropleth maps of the U.S. goat population. I always love seeing the same data represented in two different ways.

Citynomadi helps you explore new locations and find fascinating stories behind them. In addition it’s possible to find exactly those nearby events and information that you are interested in. You can browse through routes by theme, or search for them based on your interests or location.

Server side maintenance on Tuesday and Thursday night 

We'll carry out some server side maintenance on Tuesday and Thursday night this week. The work will take place after 6 pm (EET) on 26th and 28th of September and it's quite probable that you will not notice anything. 

A Rustbelt Makeover

Here's some of your rough government data, Milwaukee. With a new cut and polish, you really shine.

This interactive map is built from a simple data series: the ages of 139,931 residential buildings in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The building data, maintained by the City of Milwaukee as part of a larger property database, has been hidden in plain sight for years.

Using only the age of a building plus the shape of the property that it sits upon, this map invites you to explore a city in a new way. Even a casual user can find quick insight in the data – perhaps noting new infill development in Milwaukee's core (an indicator of urban renewal?). 

Or, seeing how past housing booms still shape the nature and distribution of the City's existing housing stock.

So, you've been using ArcGIS Online to build a killer map and now you're ready to share it with the world! You've shared the geographic content used to build your web map with "Everyone" (Public), and you've even remembered to share your web map with "Everyone" (Public) as well! You copy and paste the link into an e-mail; you tweet it out to everyone and their mother - At last, you'll be viral!

Your boss clicks on the link from his mobile device of choice, your followers from beyond the twitterverse click on the link - Whoosh! Up pops their browser, but there's no map! Instead, they gotta login to the ArcGIS Online thing - Not cool!
