Slashgeo: 4 Maps
4maps.org is an interesting web site offering the ability to view four maps in synchronised mode.
It is possible to swicth between different maps or to display only two maps side by side. The javascript code can be easily downloaded and modified to add other map sources.
Nice to compare maps or to see your destination from multiple angles.

Slashgeo: Being Part of a Spatial Community
As much important as the job we do, is with whom we do it. Our work environment matters. What also matters to most of us is feeling part of a larger community, in that case, the geospatial community. Yesterday, I felt part of it again for a few hours. It was the welcoming event of this week's OSGeo Montreal Code Sprint 2011.

Slashgeo: Directions Magazine Articles: Opportunities of the GeoCloud, Geo vs Data Vizualization, The New Geospatial Jobs, and more
Here's a few Directions Magazine articles published in the past month that I found interesting:
- An article on GIS Computing in the cloud. The summary: "Author Philip O'Doherty believes our thinking may be too small when it comes to GIS computing in the cloud. One of the big problems with GIS today, writes O'Doherty, is that it is seen as a specialist tool, available only to a limited number of people in a limited number of organizations.

Slashgeo: Friday Geonews: ESRI's Open Source Geoportal Server, Yahoo Local Offers, REST Explained Again, MapQuest My Maps, and much more
Here's the weekly batch of geonews, finally on a regular Friday.On the ESRI front:
- Recently, ESRI open sourced the ESRI Geoportal Server. Some twitter users were quick to mention that you still need ArcGIS Server software to use the Geoportal Server. To me, that's still a nice step.

Make Slashgeo Known to the Community Day - Third Year! + Slashgeo on Facebook and Twitter
I haven't forgot! Two years ago we had the audacity of identifying November 13th as the "Make Slashgeo Known to the Community Day".
Before I serve you the same ramblings than last year, let me remind you of our 5-years anniversary and unavoidable statistics. And the good news is we finally are running on a modern engine... now just little more time is required to squeeze the best out of it. We're slowly getting there.
I can't believe I took a few minutes to build a Facebook page for Slashgeo.org! Don't hesitate to "like" this page, even if it is mostly empty at the moment. I also have a Slashgeo Twitter account (which is more of a personal account), and no, you won't get our usual aggregated geonews stories from that source, our RSS feed is there for this purpose. Among the creation of our Facebook page, I found out someone already "stole" the "/Slashgeo" page on that social network. Strange. Maybe even stranger, is the Slashgeo account on YouTube, used by nothing less than a group of spanish singers! :-) Life can be surprising... well, it has already been 4 years that Slashgeo.org's dot-com counterpart started serving p0rn! :-)
So, here's what the "MSKC Day" is all about: "It's November 13th again! Your mission is the same and still very simple: if you like the site and find it useful, you must tell one of your colleagues about Slashgeo.org.
[...]
As I said last year, our small team of volunteers provides this geonews aggregation service for a community we love and we want to make sure people who might benefit from it actually know that it exists! It takes only a minute to send an email and fulfill your mission :-) (with enough missions accomplished, you'll gain experience and levels and be able to develop new geospatial skills ;-)"
