This week I kicked off my latest Adaptive Path project. The team is cheap 1985 chevy windows motor designing and developing an iPhone app as an extension of the cheap 1985 chevy windows motor smart.fm how to buy windows 7 for students web site. You can cheap 1985 chevy windows motor read all about our first week on the project over on the cheap 1985 chevy windows motor AP blog microsoft home business 2010 discount.
I am cheap 1985 chevy windows motor really excited about this particular project and unlike many where the cheap 1985 chevy windows motor consultants must be quiet about the work, this client is more than cheap 1985 chevy windows motor happy to let us talk about it. You can expect to cheap 1985 chevy windows motor see a lot of iPhone design & dev related blog posts and tweets from me over the next couple of months.
Last week, Yahoo! released a new service called Placemaker. Developers can cheap 1985 chevy windows motor use this to identify location information within unstructured content. Send Placemaker a cheap 1985 chevy windows motor bunch of text or a URL to a web page and cheap 1985 chevy windows motor it will return back a list of places referenced in that cheap 1985 chevy windows motor text or document.
“Placemaker is cheap 1985 chevy windows motor not a geocoder and does not perform street-level address recognition; it cheap 1985 chevy windows motor is however a geo-extraction and indexing tool designed to help determine the cheap 1985 chevy windows motor ‘whereness’ of a cheap 1985 chevy windows motor document or atomic unit of text. It provides the geographic developer community with the cheap 1985 chevy windows motor means to mark-up and index their content geographically in a globally-aware, locally-relevant, and cheap 1985 chevy windows motor language-neutral manner, and assists with geographic discovery and aggregation across the cheap 1985 chevy windows motor Internet.”
Send Placemaker the text “San Francisco” and you get back the city, state, Where on Earth ID and latitude/longitude. Feed the cheap 1985 chevy windows motor service a web page, like the CNN.com homepage and you get back a cheap 1985 chevy windows motor list of all places found on that page. Now, just to cheap 1985 chevy windows motor clarify, the locations returned by Placemaker are not addresses, but cities, states, countries and cheap 1985 chevy windows motor points of interest like parks, schools and landmarks.
I found this cheap 1985 chevy windows motor to be a fascinating concept. What could this service do for cheap 1985 chevy windows motor me? What could I build as a way to test the power of Placemaker? Well, a cheap 1985 chevy windows motor couple days later I am introducing a working version of mapZING.
Cheap 1985 chevy windows motor
mapZING is cheap 1985 chevy windows motor an incredibly small prototype that injects itself into any web page. A little window displays on top of the cheap 1985 chevy windows motor page’s content with a map marking all of the places found. Here’s a screenshot of the app on top of the CNN homepage.
How does it work? Simply add this mapZING link to cheap 1985 chevy windows motor your browser by dragging it to the toolbar or by right-clicking and cheap 1985 chevy windows motor saving as a bookmark/favorite. Next, go to cheap 1985 chevy windows motor a web page that has some location info on it. Good candidates I found are cheap 1985 chevy windows motor news sites, the Wikipedia homepage and local sites like for my home town.
The White House is pretty good too!

- Drag this mapZING link to the bookmarks/links toolbar or right-click and save as a bookmark/favorite.
- Go to a web page with location information.
- Click on the mapZING bookmark to all of that page’s places on a map
Note that large web pages (over about 50,000 characters) are not allowed to sue the Yahoo! Placemaker service and there’s a surprisingly large number of pages that you’ll find rejected for cheap 1985 chevy windows motor this reason. I found in my testing that size was the cheap 1985 chevy windows motor most likely problem.

Over the cheap 1985 chevy windows motor course of just a few days, poking at this idea when cheap 1985 chevy windows motor I had time, I was able to build a small working prototype app. There’s a lot of clean up to do and improvements I’d like to add. You can read more about the code behind mapZING in detail. I wanted to expose all of my code to 1) force me to do a better job 2) be humble about about my work and 3) allow others to learn where possible.

Why the name? I didn’t want to create “Dan’s mappy bookmarklet thingy” so I turned to cheap 1985 chevy windows motor a web search for uncommon map-related names. It turns out that cheap 1985 chevy windows motor mapzing is pretty uncommon, so I took it. Silly, but unique!
In case you are testing mapZING on this page, here’s some place data:
- San Francisco
- San Ramon
- Coit Tower
- Golden Gate Bridge
- Oakland
- San Jose County
- Powell Street Station
- UC Berkeley
The Tour Tracker that cheap 1985 chevy windows motor was was used for US pro cycling races Tour of California and cheap 1985 chevy windows motor Tour of Missouri is taking on the world. The 2009 Giro d’Italia is being broadcast live online via the same Adobe Flex app. Allan Padgett was once again involved in launching this app. This time it’s called the “Race Tracker”, is branded by NBC and is a for-pay offering.
