A different kind of geoblogging

This multimedia project is a work-in-progress, as I struggle to figure out what it is and what it's about. Incorporating elements of this blog plus new audio and video, this map represents a bird's eye view of friends, strangers, and inanimate objects throughout Iowa City. Tentatively titled "Community," it's kind of a blog using a map rather than a map of blogs. It will premiere as an interactive site this Friday as part of the Open House presented by Intermedia, a program of the University of Iowa's Department of Art & Art History.

Please feel free to explore this project. Comments and (constructive) suggestions are appreciated. I know this project doesn't work in all browsers or platforms, but I've had the best luck using Firefox and a very high speed connection.

Thanks especially to the awesome Mapbuilder.net, without which I could never have built a map like this.
