This map animates thru events in Whitney Houston's life, from birth, school, grammy awards, super bowl appearance, concert at Norfolk Virginia for troops returning from Persian Gulf, and then her untimely death at Beverley Hills, California. <br /><br />You can disable the autoplay mode by clicking on the arrows at lower left corner of the map.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.mibazaar.com/whitney.html"><img src="http://blog.mibazaar.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/Screen-Shot-2012-02-12-at-6.26.10-PM.png" alt="" title="Whitney Houston&#039;s Journey of Life Mapped" width="470" height="374" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3171" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23809758-4965539732375607574?l=www.virenderajmani.com' alt='' /></div>Virender Ajmanihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04675812697440631323noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23809758.post-70184616808745138202009-08-06T12:02:00.000-04:002010-10-12T18:10:23.165-04:00I am passionate about Maps (Google Maps) who likes to map news and events happening around the world. I use feeds (api calls) from Twitter, YouTube to map news and events. Take a look at my Google Maps website at (<a href="http://www.mibazaar.com">mibazaar.com</a>) for numerous Google Maps Mashup I have created.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Beginnings</span><br />My interest in Google Maps started with Hurricane Katrina. Right around the time when Hurricane Katrina struck the US Gulf Coast, leaving behind trail of destruction, I bumped into a Google Maps Blog (<a href="http://googlemapsmania.blogspot.com">googlemapsmania</a>). From here I got a great idea of how I could use Google Maps API to help out folks in and around the New Orleans area. I created a map showing where businesses were opening up after the Hurricane was gone. I got lots of good feedback from this mashup which encouraged me to create more mashups.<br /><br />I am really proud of my "<a href="http://www.mibazaar.com/obama_igoogle.html">Barack Obama Journey of Life Map</a>" which was featured at <a href="http://maps.google.com">maps.google com</a> homepage. <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/06/18/google-maps-gets-political/">Techcrunch</a> also had featured this mashup.<br /><br />Here's my Journey of Life:<br /><center><iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://www.mibazaar.com/aboutme.html"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://www.mibazaar.com/aboutme.html">View Larger Map</a></small></center><br /><br />One my most popular Mashups: <a href="http://www.mibazaar.com/obama_igoogle.html">Barack Obama's Journey of life</a><br /><br />Here's a Google Earth Version of <a href="http://www.mibazaar.com/obama_ge.html">Barack Obama's Journey of Life</a>:<br /><br /><center><br /><object width="392" height="238"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/-YTiRbh-_n8&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/-YTiRbh-_n8&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="392" height="238"></embed></object><br /></center><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23809758-7018461680874513820?l=www.virenderajmani.com' alt='' /></div>Virender Ajmaninoreply@blogger.com0
