Mashups 101 - Earthquakes

Under the rubric of Mashups. this is an awesome example of how Tech and Education can rock. By clicking on the graphic above, one goes to a site that visualizes the occurrence of earthquakes in real time. Said mashup involved combining Simile Timeline, (Simile was covered in previous posts on BRT) MIT's open source software, with the Google Maps API. Jörn Clausen, the man who did the deed, did the web, society and education a big service by building this very cool and informative app.
