Wikit

"WikIT

WikIT is here to provide you with a resource to help in taming the torrent of information that knowledge workers have to deal with daily.

Information maps

One of the problems with wikis is that they are very text oriented. If you can't find the right hyperlink or think of the right word or phrase to search for, the information you want might just as well not be there.

WikIT uses mind maps as an added navigation layer as you'll see above. Click on one of the links below the mind map image and you will be able to interact with the map in Flash or Acrobat. This map has unfolding branches and active links to other parts of WikIT. All the usual wiki access methods are here, but there are mind maps as well to give a visual overview. We have plans to enhance this further.

If you are here for the first time, you might want to start at the information maps article and use the mind map there to see what this part of WikIT contains."

Google Street View Gets Usable With Smart Navigation

Google’s street-level mapping imagery – called Street View – can at times be useful if you want to see what a place you’re trying to find looks like. However, if you’ve ever wanted to explore beyond a snapshot of a location, you’ve likely found the user experience fairly cumbersome, if not downright unusable at times.

Today, the Google Maps team has unveiled a new feature that makes actually navigating through Street View significantly better. Now, Maps will show you, “an oval when your mouse is following a road and a rectangle when moving across the facades of buildings.” Google refers to these shapes as “pancakes,” and once you figure out how exactly they work, they turn Street View into a fairly enjoyable – if not highly useful – experience.
