Mush

Friday, August 3rd, 2007

Sean Gillies has been experimenting with a web service, Mush. It takes two GeoRSS feeds and calculates the “sphere of influence”, or spatial intersection, of the two feeds.
Perhaps it’s part of a trend (hopefully) for more “analytical” services in “neogeography”.
The Planning Alerts GeoRSS API was used as a clever example. In combination with a […]

GeoRSS on the iPhone

Wednesday, July 18th, 2007

If you’re on the fence about picking up a new iPhone, consider that it supports GeoRSS out of the box!

GeoRSS Site back up

Saturday, June 30th, 2007

Sorry for the long delay in getting the GeoRSS site back up. We had an unforseen (as they tend to be) loss of the original host, and recovering the data led to problems. But thanks to the heroic efforts of many, the site is restored on a new host (and backups).
We’ll be updating the content […]

ArcMap to GeoRSS GML script needed

Friday, June 1st, 2007

I need some pretty basic GeoRSS GML export functionality from ArcMap. Beta quality is fine. Has anyone done this or can it be whipped up in a week? I’d be happy to take a stab at maintaining it as open source, but there’s always ArcScripts for this as well.

Domain Expertise in GeoRSS is Highly Desirable

Tuesday, May 15th, 2007

Who would’ve imagined the day when GeoRSS is part of the job description.

Domain expertise in GIS, photogrammetry and geospatial service oriented architecture (SOA) technologies (WMS, WFS, geoRSS) is highly desirable.

GeoRSS Site rebooted - now with Drupal

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

After discussion in the GeoRSS community, and based on feedback of consistency across pages, we’ve migrated the GeoRSS site to a Drupal-based CMS. Also, if you walk in web-design rings, you may know that May 1st is CSSReboot.
What does this mean to you? First, the pages will be much easier to maintain for accuracy and […]

GeoRSS at the Summer of Code

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

Since Google’s and Microsoft’s GeoRSS announcements last month, there’s been a big jump in interest. Just look at the GeoRSS hits graph from Technorati.

Well more than anyone here can keep up with. One thing that’s jumped out at me is that among the recent batch of Google Summer of Code 2007 project approvals, there’s three […]

GeoRSS tutorial - watching new construction

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

Jason Birch has a nice little tutorial on building a GeoRSS feed to show current housing starts with a feed of new construction building permits. He’s using Safe Software’s FME, but even if you don’t have that, he also shows the output on Google Reader and Google Maps. Very nice!

Google supports GeoRSS!

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

Announced on the Google Maps Blog, GeoRSS, in all its glory, is now supported by Google Maps. Support for KML has been vastly improved too.
Maybe it doesn’t need to be said, this is a big big deal for GeoRSS. We now have support across all three major web map apis, and a common language for […]

Yahoo Pipes

Tuesday, May 1st, 2007

Yahoo Pipes, the new RSS remix and mashup programming environment from Yahoo has made a stunning debut. I’ve used Ray Ozzie’s quote “RSS is the Unix Pipe of the Internet” in my presentations on GeoRSS, and Pipes is a big step towards realizing that idea .. this kind of leveraging of RSS is exactly the […]
