Wayfaring Project

Here is the map that I created in Wayfaring. I found this program cumbersome to use at points...and find it ridiculous that the part of the program that lets you type in locations doesn't seem to work. Dragging yourself all over the country isn't fun...and makes it very difficult to use.

Also...we had to look at a few mashups...here are the ones that I chose that were interesting to me...

1. http://www.programmableweb.com/url/4775 - Hurricane tracker

As a weather junky this was incredibly cool to me...especially being that I don't like being glued to the weather channel when things like hurricanes are striking the US. After seeing the aftermath of Katrina first hand and having someone close to me loose everything, mashups like this can be very informative. It also has a lot of potential to incorporate more at some later point.

2. http://www.programmableweb.com/url/375 - Weather Bonk

Again...the weather junky in me shines again... This is nifty...and the more I play with it, the more I discover. It's a complex mashup...but has a lot of neat integration.

3. http://www.programmableweb.com/url/1129 - Sept. 11 Mashup

While this is always a touchy subject...I found this mashup to be tastefully done. With personal accounts and pictures...I think this is a creative integration of visual and verbal memories.
