Frappr

So I’m at a technology conference in Boston right now. It’ one of those places where you get bombarded with content – lots of people sharing what they are using to do certain things. One of the more interesting things I’ve discovered is Frappr. It’s the product of three UC Berkeley students and it’s rather neat. Here’s a map I’ve created:

The biggest issue with it in terms of integration is that it comes with some very complex imbed code. So the plan with the map above was to be able to add it to one of the Singletrackworld forums. Any way I’ve put a post up here to try and see if this gets any uptake.

Clustrmaps was also discussed in one session. Here’s a map for rothar.com (see below) it’s really something that needs to be added to the sidebar or footer and it’s an aggregation tool so it will collate content over time. What would be really need was if it was possible to integrate it into Google Analytics to use visitor data to create a retrospective summary at install stage.

img = document.getElementById(“clustrMapsImg”);
img.onerror = null;
img.src = “http://www2.clustrmaps.com/images/clustrmaps-back-soon.jpg”;
document.getElementById(“clustrMapsLink”).href = “http://www2.clustrmaps.com”;
}
img = document.getElementById(“clustrMapsImg”);
img.onerror = cantload;
