ArcGIS Online Blog : Embedding ArcGIS Online maps in your own website
In a previous post we showed how you can use the new JavaScript sample templates to create custom apps using ArcGIS Online maps. Another custom way you can use ArcGIS Online maps is to embed them in your website. Here’s how… This is a map of the Esri Redlands campus made using the ArcGIS.com viewer . We used the World Topographic basemap and zoomed to the Esri campus, saved the map, then made it publicly available for anyone to find.Latest Earthquakes World - Past 7 days

Officially launching today is Mappiness, a UK iPhone app that “maps Happiness” by pinging users with a survey in order to plot out their feelings during the day (happiness, in this case, is apparently user-defined). Using LBS, the app links responses and response locations to environmental data in an attempt to, according to lead researcher George MacKerron, MacKerron, based at the London School Economics, elaborated on the idea of tracking happiness, Mappiness is the first project of its kind to add location to the mix.

Japanese artist maps 1945-1998's nuclear explosions
A Japanese artist named Isao Hashimoto has created a series of works about nuclear weapons. One is titled " 1945-1998 " and shows a history of the world's nuclear explosions. Over the course of fourteen and a half minutes, every single one of the 2053 nuclear tests and explosions that took place between 1945 and 1998 are is plotted on a map. A metronomic beep every second represents months passing, and a different tone indicates explosions from different countries.CISCO+A'dam Urban EcoMap
AMSTERDAM, Dec. 1, 2009 - Cisco and the city of Amsterdam today announced the rollout of Urban EcoMap , an Internet-based tool that enables cities around the world to provide smarter climate change information for their citizens. A city can use Urban EcoMap to create awareness among its residents of the impact of carbon emissions on their urban environment. It provides information on carbon emissions from transportation, energy and waste among neighborhoods, organized by district, and delivers tips on ways to reduce a resident's carbon footprint. Facts/Highlights: The application is an extension of the Urban EcoMap launched in May 2009 in the city of San Francisco. The Amsterdam version of the Urban EcoMap will be progressively expanded in the upcoming year with real-time information, which might also be linked to data from other agencies.
As part of Earth Day, Cisco and the City and County of San Francisco (our namesake!!) today announced Urban EcoMap , an Internet-based tool that enables cities around the world to provide smarter climate change information for their citizens. For the first time, Urban EcoMap gives every person the ability to see the collective results of individual climate change actions, while also motivating people to make responsible environmental choices and creating competition among neighborhoods to reduce their carbon footprint. Urban EcoMap provides information on carbon emissions from transportation, energy and waste among neighborhoods, organized by ZIP codes. In this video, Cisco’s Kathy O’Connell interviews San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom about Urban EcoMap and what it can mean for the citizens individually and for cities collectively.

Invisible Cities, a project by Christian Marc Schmidt & Liangjie Xia
A project by Christian Marc Schmidt & Liangjie Xia By revealing the social networks present within the urban environment, Invisible Cities describes a new kind of city—a city of the mind. It displays geocoded activity from online services such as Twitter and Flickr, both in real-time and in aggregate. Real-time activity is represented as individual nodes that appear whenever a message or image is posted. Aggregate activity is reflected in the underlying terrain: over time, the landscape warps as data is accrued, creating hills and valleys representing areas with high and low densities of data.Mapping Social Networks In A 3-D Environment
Invisible Cities is an application that visualizes real-time and aggregate data culled from Twitter and Flickr, and maps it in a three-dimensional environment. It provides an alternate perspective towards the geographical relationships and intensity of social network connectivity within an urban landscape. Real-time updates are shown as nodes which materialize when tweets or images are posted, and aggregate data are displayed through the layout of the terrain. High and low levels of data in the environment are seen as hills and valleys, respectively. Invisible Cities is still undergoing development, but will be available in the near future.

Facebook with 1 billion active users has established its leadership position in 127 out of 137 countries analyzed. One of the drivers of its growth is Asia that with 278 million users, surpassed Europe, 251 million, as the largest continent on Facebook. North America has 243 million users, South America 142 million. Africa, almost 52 million, and Oceania just 15 million ( source: Facebook Ads Platform ).
