From September 2005 to June 2006 a team of thirteen scholars at the The University of Southern California's Annenberg Center for Communication explored how new and maturing networking technologies are transforming the way in which we interact with content, media sources, other individuals and groups, and the world that surrounds us.

This site documents the process and the results.

microlocal, in South LA

Shahram, Julian, Anne and I just submitted a grant proposal to USC's Urban Initiative to explore microlocal urban media in South Los Angeles. To illustrate, I wrote a microlocal story about this spot.

That page includes an ICBM geotag. How would I go about displaying it on a googlemap?

Google Map of Microlocal Story

Here's a link to a page with that map in the Google Maps mode:

I'm teaching the 1st years in IMD how to create Google Maps, so I'm fairly well immersed in the idiolect. Let me know if you want me to show you how. It requires an API "key" that is restricted to certain URLs, and a bit of comfort with Javascript. It looks like there's a Googlemaps module for drupal — I may have to check that out.

Thanks, I'd love to learn

Thanks, I'd love to learn how to do that. I'm assuming the 'pin' on the map can made to display pictures or a link on rollover.

geograffiti

Hey Francois,

When geoannotation was still more the exclusive purview of GIS geeks we did quite a bit of work in the area that that we called geograffiti

It's perhaps somewhat of a relic now that google maps has changed the landscape, but if nothing else the work, i think, will be remembered to be foundational in the amateur geo-locative field that google maps has helped spawn. also, given your interest in graffiti, you may be interested in this theoretical piece that i wrote on the subject of geo-annotation in which i draw on graffiti as a metaphor for micro-local spatial production.
