OSM 2008: A Year of Edits from ItoWorld on Vimeo.
An animation showing edits to the www.OpenStreetMap.org project during 2008. OpenStreetMap is a wiki-style map of the world and this animation displays a white flash each time a way is entered or updated. Some edits are a result of a physical local survey by a contributor with a GPS unit and taking notes, other edits are done remotely using aerial photography or out-of-copyright maps, and some are bulk imports of official data.
OpenStreetMap started in 2004 and the rate of contributions is accelerating with four times as many people contributing to the project in 2008 compared to 2007. During the year, edits were made by some 20,000 individuals and there were bulk imports of data for many places, including the USA, India, Italy and Belarus which are clearly visible in the animation.

I love visualisations because when well done, they can show complex information. I’m in Tbilisi Georgia talking about new media with journalists and people working with NGOs in the Cacaucus. This is so powerful.
Dan and I are talking about new media, journalism and the social impact of social media in Tbilisi Georgia. We got three hours of sleep. We’re tired.

On Tuesday I detailed how I built a Hackintosh Mac from start to finish on the cheap, but one obvious question remained unanswered: How does my Hackintosh stack up to the Apple-built competition?

The worsening advertising climate is forcing many publishers, facing only modest online gains after a decade of digital investment, to consider charging for content.
