1. iPhone App of the day –  Yahoo! Mobile for iPhone was officially launched during the Sping CTIA event and provides an awesome, much improved mobile experience for iPhone users. The service is available as a web app or as an iPhone application. This app provides an idea mobile gateway for custom bookmarks, local search, and web discovery.

Penn State Public Broadcasting and the Geospatial Revolution Project

by

Via way of the USGIF, we have some updates on the Geospatial Revolution Project – an integrated  public media and outreach initiative about the world of digital mapping and how it is changing the way we think, behave and interact. About the project… Penn State Public Broadcasting will use the Web to release 8 video episodes — each 7 minutes or so — on an ongoing basis over the lifespan of the project. This will allow for the rerelease of segments as they are produced, a broader audience span and the ability to better reflect emerging trends in geospatial technology as the project is completed. Eventually, the episodes will culminate into a documentary. See more including a demo trailer video at http://geospatialrevolution.psu.edu/

Insights from the Latitude Geographics GeoCortex User Conference

by

This past week I managed to become a little more familiar with the solutions that Victoria BC-based, Latitude Geographics provides to the Geo technology community. Simply put, their solutions are designed to make life a bit easier for those that provided ESRI-based web mapping solutions (ie. IMS and ArcGIS Server). the company has bet heavily on the server technology and is now pretty excited about ArcGIS Server at R 9.3.1 and their complementary offering via their GeoCortex product lineup. If your interested in how they can help, how to get up and running with little or no programming, and why now is a good time to move to server and what GeoCortex can do for your web service you may be interested in this article
