HOW TO: Track Hurricane Earl Online
- carbocation 16y agoI really like Stormpulse, but this is a problematic post. The title is editorialized, focusing on a layout feature (Stormpulse gets its own subheading, whereas other sites are clustered by similarity). A layout artifact on mashable.com doesn't mean that Stormpulse is truly considered to be in a category of its own; in fact, I think it easily fits in with the Google Maps mashups, but I don't really care either way. Tl;dr: I think this title makes sense for an internal company email, but not HN. The article linked, however, is useful, so I'm not flagging this.
- felideon 16y agoPoint taken. I'll change the title back, but I just wanted to share the "good news" with fellow HN'ers as I do believe Stormpulse to be in it's own category, and not really just a layout artifact for this blog post. Not sure why you think we fit under the Google Maps mashup category, when we are not using Google Maps at all.
- carbocation 16y agoI mean, they should have called the category "interactive maps" and then it would be fitting. You're not in a category of your own; you are the leader of the category. Anyways, I meant no offense - I use your site regularly during hurricane season and sincerely enjoy it.
