Blue Puddle is in Testing.
Look for a Beta version in Fall 2006.
(Feel free to check it out. It may be a little buggy.)
Overview
Blue Puddle is an interactive online mapping tool
developed by an interdisciplinary team of students at the University
of Michigan. The Blue Puddle software takes advantage of the Internetīs
distributed authorship capabilities to create maps that draw on usersī
collective memory and subjective experience of a city. These maps foster
the emergence of stories about the city that are more rich than any
single author could create.
How It Works
Users can create a map and post images, text, video and
audio to points on that map. User maps are mashed up at the city level
to create dense urban/info environments.
Blue Puddle also offer research grants
to community organizations or interested parties. Our grant provides
training with a GPS enabled camera and instruction on how to use the
software. For more information contact our community coordinator: zcd
