Manhattan Story Mashup – the urban photo hunt
Manhattan Story Mashup is an urban game, taking place on September 23rd 2006 in Manhattan, New York City. During the event, approximately 250 players will move around Manhattan, taking photos which match a given target. Targets are words from stories, written by you and other visitors on this web site collaboratively while the game goes on. The resulting illustrated stories are shown on large public signs in Times Square in real-time and on the website at http://www.storymashup.org/
Manhattan Story Mashup is organized by SensorPlanet, a Nokia Research Center -initiated research program on large-scale sensor networks. See also the behind the scenes pages at http://www.storymashup.org/msm_background.html. More about the event from Nokia Research… The objective of the game is to build stories in a collaborative fashion: the players take pictures while wandering around Manhattan, triggered by the keywords picked up by the participants on the web. The collected pictures and the keywords are eventually lined up to form several tiny stories, presented as the final outcome of the game in one of the large displays at Times Square.

Free GIS Data GeoBlog
GIS users are always searching for free data sources. There’s plenty of them out there but locating them can be a challenge. Many of you know that we already have hundreds of pointers to great free data repositories listed in some of the directories and articles hosted at GISuser.com. In an effort to share all the great pointers that we have I’ve started migrating pointers to some of the best free GIS data resources in a new blog – aka. the Free GIS Data blog – look forward to the best of the best making their way to this directory and feel free to suggest additions. Categories will make searching the blog a breeze with geographic tags (ie. State name or country) and by data type (ie. DRG). hopefully this resource will be useful to the community and I look forward to it growing nicely in the near future. The focus of the data resources will initially be on US data sources (ie. places where you can grab free DRGs and DOQQs) but there’s also some great Global data resources as well.
