Embeddable Bing & Twitter Map Mashup

20 March, 2010 Posted by As Multimedia,News,WebApp (0) Comment

Micosoft Bing (http://www.bing.com/maps/explore/  has many useful mini apps that use the underlying great mapping technology, including a Twitter map app. The map shows all Twitter users located at a specific location. and the last 100 Tweets originated from that location.

An enhancement has just been released offering embeddable Twitter map functionality  to your Web sites (see below)

 

You can do this in four easy steps:

  1. Select the map location either fixed (centered on a specific point) or anywhere (moves the map as the Tweets come in).
  2. Specify the dimensions of your map (height and width).
  3. Add search filters. These will be carried into the embed form if you’ve specified them to filter only tweets that meet your search criteria.
  4. Copy/paste HTML into your web page.
