Penguin's Putting Books on Twitter and Google Maps
- Tichy 19y agoI am very interested in the maps-based story, because I have a similar pet project on my TODO list: the idea is to put Darwin's "Voyage of the Beagle" on Google maps or Google Earth, to get a better feel of the voyage. A friend of mine used to read "The Lord Of The Rings" with the "Middle Earth Atlas" on hand, in the right chronological order (read only the parts of the story that happen on a particular way). (Edit, just found this site with at least some map annotations to voyage of the beagle: http://www.aboutdarwin.com/voyage/voyage01.html http://www.aboutdarwin.com/voyage/voyage01.html) Sidenote: Recently somebody posted a comment on news.YC about starting a blog with 4 authors, one of them gets exchanged every week by public vote. Can't find it anymore - does anybody know the URL?
