And away we go


Mike & Sha just left the studio for LA, where they’re putting the finishing touches on a twitter visualization for use during MTV’s Hope for Haiti telethon tomorrow. More on this as it progresses, but I’m very excited about this one. We’re going to be visualizing live activity around the world during the telethon, similar to our previous work with MTV, but this time the project will be running off a Stamen-built backend and moderating system that Mike & Aaron and Tom have been working on for these kinds of events. It looks like the telethon will be broadcast on multiple networks, and I’ll post a URL when I’ve got one.

Meanwhile I’m at SFO, waiting for my flight to London on the first leg of a trip to Munich where I’ll be participating in a panel on “Maps for the 21st Century,” hosted by Hans Ulrich Obrist as part of the DLD conference that’s taking place there this weekend. I’m hoping to get a 2009 year in review post together while I’m away — maybe on the plane. It’s tough to look back when there’s this much happening!
