Two Libraries Looking For A Story


I'm yet convinced that animating Twitter information isn't the best agency to use CartoDB's Torque library. I'm too pretty sure that the Torque library isn't the best agency to map the electrical current Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

I'm thence non overly impressed amongst Al Jazeera's map of Israeli-Palestinian conflict related Twitter messages. We hardly require an animated Twitter map to say us that the conflict is currently big word all roughly the world.

What is interesting virtually this map is that Torque is existence used hither inside CartoDB's Odyssey.js narrative mapping platform. To that extent the map is a expert representative of how Torque as well as Odyssey.js tin travel combined to practise an animated map of geo-tagged data, inwards which interesting stories inside the information tin travel highlighted on the map.

Combining the 2 libraries tin enable developers to practise real powerful animated maps of information as well as to genuinely explicate the stories as well as narratives that emerge from that data. Unfortunately at the minute the solely other representative I've seen of Torque as well as Odyssey.js combined is some other animated Twitter map - Ramadan: How the World Celebrates.

I'm fairly sure as shooting that old presently somebody is going to practise an amazing map amongst Torque as well as Odyssey.js. There is a lot of time-stamped geo-tagged information out at that spot only waiting for somebody to map using Torque & Odyssey.js. It's only non on Twitter.
