Social media maps assemble information from various sources that are mostly derived from 'crowd-sourced' data. For those not familiar with social media maps, check out <a href="http://www.esri.com/services/disaster-response/hurricane-map/index.html" target="_blank">ESRI's Hurricane and Cyclone social media map</a>. Social media APIs allow content from social networks like <a href="http://www.twitter.com/" target="_blank">Twitter</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/" target="_blank">Youtube</a>, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/" target="_blank">Flickr</a>, and many more, to be embedded on to your maps. Also, certain social media map applications allow active editing by users. Amidst this crowd-sourcing interaction where there is a huge window of opportunity for inappropriate content intrusion, how do you maintain and automate quality check of such social media maps?<br />

More and more geospatial vendors have started to plunge into cloud services. Presumably, cloud+mobile would dominate the near future! <br />
As a GIS developer, analyst, cartographer, technician, project manager, or whatever role that you are in; how do you perceive the transition from desktop to cloud will be? Do you think it is the beginning of 'end of the desktop'?Sentilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13560521248520509591noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567730455365598827.post-70703912459275965242010-06-30T11:07:00.000-07:002010-06-30T11:07:00.043-07:00Spatialized (Geo) Tweets - Dataset of business opportunities!!!?The increasing spatialization of tweets or any means of social footprints will serve as a golden dataset for small to medium, large retail businesses to position products with their target customers!

Do you need a personal GIS?Everyone is getting connected nowadays to the online social grid through millions of personal pages, feeds, status updates, tweets, blogs, profiles,discussion forums, photo tags etc. Thanks to the connection machines like the Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, Youtube, and other networking sites. All these sites incorporate 'location' in to their social habitats thus enabling everyone to be geo-centric. The recent eruptions of cloud GIS have enabled more and more online/mobile GIS applications to be made available to consumers. With the increasing use and awareness of GIS, at some point in the future, do we require a personal/home GIS software? How many of you will be open to having a personal/home/lightweight version of ArcGIS installed in your PC as any other tools like MS office?Sentilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13560521248520509591noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567730455365598827.post-42443100278842655272010-02-17T22:25:00.000-08:002010-02-17T22:34:57.931-08:00Is your GIS application ready to 'float'?Companies like Salesforce.com and Google had innovated business models through their 'cloud' offerings! With increasing advancements in web technologies, it is interesting to see the success of cloud computing. Of course, GIS is not left out! I believe, ESRI has continuously involved in exploring the cloud through its services like MapIT and partnership with Microsoft. Now plunging deep into the cloud, <a href="http://www.esri.com/partners/alliances/amazon/index.html">ESRI's corporate alliance with Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a good sign</a>. Business models like Software As A Service (SAAS) is enabled by providers of Infrastructure As A Service (IAAS) - (Source:<a href="http://www.esri.com/news/arcwatch/0110/feature.html">ESRI ArcWatch</a>) like the AWS. Not far away from ESRI's corporate office at Redlands, CA is another emerging provider of IAAS called <a href="http://www.skygoneinc.com/">Skygone</a>.<br />
Well, we have the platform now. So, how soon will the users be receptive to the 'cloud'?

<div class="MsoNormal">A discussion posted by Ric Skinner, a fellow active linkedin member in GIS motivated me to bring up this topic. Yesterday, as I was browsing, I ended up at the <a href="http://www.google.com/mobile/goggles">‘Google Goggles’</a> page and realized that my wish/dream has finally come true. I wished for a ‘Goggles’ type product during a discussion on a hiking trip with my friends. I am a big outdoor person and I always have wondered if I can take a picture, using my cell (smart, of course) phone, of a plant/animal species or a terrain or a rock, then load it in a search engine to learn more about it instantaneously. Well, Goggles has arrived. Though it couldn’t satisfy my type of search, given its infancy, it is an excellent start. <br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Also, discussion on the topic of image search pushes me into another one. My experience portfolio spans across different industries like renewable energy, health, economy, environmental, logistics, and few more. There are numerous state, federal, county level, private, non-profit organizations that supply data in each of these industries. I always had to search for data using different data collection strategies depending upon the industry. Although there are GIS data resources out there, I am sure they are not that robust. It would be more appropriate, if ESRI or any other organization provide an exclusive, centralized, free GIS data search engine. Is there already one that exists and that I can bookmark? Or yet to come? Who can complete my equation? <br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal">Image search = Google Goggles; GIS data search = ???? ‘Geoggles’ ?<br />

Being passionate about geography, travel, and business, I watch Travel channel a lot. While watching the 'Bizarre foods with Andrew Zimmern', this thing just popped up in my mind! Why not 'Bizarre applications of GIS' ?<br />
Please go ahead and post all the bizarre but cool applications of GIS that you may have read, heard, and/or experienced! You can also post bizarre stuff that you want GIS to be applied on! Well, be professional. When sufficient number of applications reach to suffocate us, we can conduct a poll to vote for the bizarrest. <br />
<br />
Let me push the start button:<br />
<br />
1. I read in ESRI ArcNews about how a choreographer used GIS to understand dance patterns. <br />

<br />
Isn't this cool ?<br />

Please post your comments either on this page or in <a href="http://www.linkedin.com/in/sentil">my Linkedin page</a>. Go GIS!<br />

Cool and truly game-changing features! I am wondering how Google Wave will change the spatial game. Google wave is open source, which is Google's core strategy to increase dependency and foster easy, quick adoption by millions of users. I am sure, the sandbox account for Google wave along with ESRI Flex/Silverlight APIs could come in handy for developers to play with and enable spatial publishing in Google Wave. There are many mind-boggling questions for the future:<br /><br />Will GSPs (GIS service Providers) use their own Google Wave servers to share their spatial products with their clients?<br /><br />GOOGLE EARTH has replaced/gradually replacing the use of ArcReader documents; Google's launch of its own programming language, 'GO'; GOOGLE WAVE is expected to replace traditional emails; What's next? 'Google GIS' to replace ArcGIS?<br /><br />Is ESRI prepared for this 'Dark Knight'?Sentilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13560521248520509591noreply@blogger.com2
