Along the same vein, Wikimapia[0] is a rich resource for finding information on Syria and other topics. The site allows users to define shapes constructed over places on the map, so people can mark buildings, villages, places of note. I've used it often for events regarding Syria, most recently for mapping locations[1] hit by CENTCOM airstrikes against the Islamic State. The location was relatively easy to find given the amount of info the CENTCOM video published to YouTube provided. I would suggest following deSyracuse[2] on Twitter if you are interested in this type of stuff, you'll quickly come across more interesting peers. :) [0] http://wikimapia.org http://wikimapia.org [1] http://wikimapia.org/31543455/2014-09-27-F-15E-Strike-on-Islamic-State-Compound-near-Kobani-Syria http://wikimapia.org/31543455/2014-09-27-F-15E-Strike-on-Isl...
