In: About Geoviu
12 Mar 2009
The idea started in summer 2008
The “green planet” concept being taken more and more seriously all around the globe, we were thinking of a new way to inform people on the actual world status, in real time. This is how the Geoviu concept was born.
It took almost a year to really start working on the project, principally because of programing issues. Hopefully, as well as for many other new websites, the Google API, now in OpenSource, allowed us to make this move.
It’s been only two weeks now and we are still getting impressed by all the possibilities we will be able to include in Geoviu’s final version.
So stay tuned, we are working on it full time to bring you the most developed geo-macro-environment tool of the web 2.0 !
Geoviu is a website currently in beta. Our goal is to provide an innovative way of skimming through news articles and acquiring a general feel of what is happening around the world. We allow users to view information & news on an interactive map: articles are organized in categories and switching from global to local events is made easy with our map zoom levels. Stay tuned for future developments!
