Welcome and thanks for your interest in Mapified Rss.
This web application is the result of a sub-project which is part of the more global one called GMapify. Feel free to explore this website full of maps and geodata. Maybe you could find other interesting stuff ;)

#What is this application?

This mashup is a Rss feed reader which displays geolocated items on a map. Moreover It highlights countries where news come from.

#How Mapified Rss works?

It uses an 2 API provided by Google Maps and Geonames for geocoding. It's a pure client side application made with HTML, Javascript and CSS. It uses 'title', 'description', 'link' and 'pubDate' tags found in a RSS feed.
