Digital Urban Survey: Moving to a .Com or .Org?

Andy — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 09:33:00 +0000

Its been over five years now and with a series of new project such as TalesofThings, SurveyMapper and the Masters Course in Advanced Spatial Analysis and Visualisation the blog is looking like it might need a new home.

We have three choices at the moment, one is to move to a .com – digitalurban.com is sadly taken by a name holder who wants $600, so that’s out. However, we do have the option to move to digital-urban.com. The second is to embrace the nature of digitalurban and make it a .org. The domain digitalurban.org was very kindly purchased and passed on to us by the nice people at the Redfish Group in Santa Fe. The final choice is to leave things as is and carry on regardless with .blogspot.com.

Any changes we make will not affect your bookmarks or links as Blogger allows a quick and easy way to change domains but keep the system. The only direct change will be all the ‘retweets’ will jump back to ‘0’ as they are tied to the direct link.

As such we thought we would throw the question open to you, the readers. The survey will only take a couple of seconds to complete and it will also help us test out the ‘world mapping’ system over at SurveyMapper which is about to enter open Beta.

So .com/.org or leave it as is: http://www.surveymapper.com/response.aspx?id=30

Thanks a lot if you do take part, it all helps us shape the next stage of digital urban.

How to Embed Flash Panoramas in Blogger and WordPress

Andy — Wed, 16 Apr 2008 09:39:00 +0000

Another test of embedding Flash based panoramas into Blogger – this time with the Houses of Parliament at Night, click and drag to look around:

An example of Gothic Architecture the Houses of Parliament were constructed between 1840 and 1888. The panorama is taken outside the main tower near Westminster Bridge and the River Thames. The tower stands 320 foot tall and is named after the largest bell, ‘Big Ben’ which weighs over 13 tons, and was cast in 1858 at the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in East London.
How is it done?
1) See http://flashpanoramas.com/player/ for the viewer.
2) Create your webpage with the viewer and your panorama
3) Embed in blogger/wordpress using an iframe as per the code below:
