ideas for socializing #webmaps

we all love putting GIS apps on the web

challenges… design interface tools usability

customer, expectations are higher…

see more (visualize)

explore more (locations)

do more (analysis)

share more (social)

developers, faced with new challenges

real-time data accurate geocoding routing with local knowledge advance sharing…

today… sharing & socializing

Quiz! Have webapp/webmap applications? Expose sharing functionality? Integrate with social media?

sharing is important…

sharing is easy… 1. Create widget for your application (AddThis or Sharethis) 2. Customize the widget (type of sharing) Email Social bookmark Social media (FB, Twitter…) 3. Add script

integrating with social networks is important…

Twitter… 140 chars instant message anything, anyone, anytime, anywhere

any “where”…

anatomy of a tweet Who/what am I referring to? What am I doing? Hey, I finally made it to #WhereCampPDX! Can’t wait to meet everyone. Thanks for sending me @JimBarry. Reference/address for someone.

pseudo geotweets What… Who… I noticed a brush fire off the 10FWY south of the 91FWY interchange. Anyone dispatched yet? #LAFires Traffic accident off of the 38FWY near Big Bear Lake. #SoCalTraffic Anyone know where there’s still parking available for the baseball game tonight? #OregonEvents … Where?

useful to GIS’ers?

Twitter API = simple 1. Search (HTTP - JSON, atom) 2. Twitter (REST - JSON, XML) 3. Streaming (JSON)

Twitter’s new geolocation platform

developers only…

apps can add lat/long Opt-in Geocoding but only if you “opt-in”…

anatomy changes? NO! Who/what am I referring to? What am I doing? Hey, I finally made it to #WhereCampPDX! Can’t wait to meet everyone. Thanks for sending me @JimBarry. Reference/address for <geo xmlns:georss="http://www.georss.org/georss"> someone. <georss:point>37.780467** -122.396762**</georss:point> </geo>

curl -d "lat= 45.53269 long=-122.66116&status=I finally made it to #WhereCampPDX" -u user:pass "http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml" <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <status> <created_at>Sat Oct 03 02:52:51 +0000 2009</created_at> ... <geo xmlns:georss="http://www.georss.org/georss"> <georss:point> 45.53269 -122.66116 </georss:point> </geo> <user> <name>AL Laframboise</name> ... <geo_enabled>true</geo_enabled> ... </user> </status>

7 days only!

scary right? wrong!

1. opt-in <geo_enabled>false</geo_enabled>

2. search API has always existed… http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=wherecamppdx &geocode=45.52803%2C-122.66061%2C25km

3. apps are already doing this… Location: Redlands, CA Location: iPhone: 45.53269,-122.66116 P:34.05748,-117.19569 Subbing-in for @jimbarry who was planning to attend #WhereCampPDX. See you there!

few examples

Share you map with the world http://tinyurl.com/sharemap

“geotweeters” – Who’s saying what and where? http://tinyurl.com/geotweeters

Real-time geolocation and GIS ArcGIS Explorer

Finally users expectations are higher share your maps embrace the power of social media Real-time geolocation information is the future!
