Yesterday we launched a new Faneuil Media project on Boston.com. It’s a Google map that displays the route of the Boston Marathon, as well as stages of the race and communities along the way. The package is in a popup here, or you can find it on the homepage or the marathon section.
This project was built by Brian Hamman, a graduate student of journalism at the University of Missouri. He did a great job and we had a great time working with him. (I particularly like the way he wove together all info bubbles along the route – it allows you to browse through the course as a fluid story.) Maybe at some point I’ll get a chance to blog about the very cool work Brian’s doing on “Social Presence” and online news.
Let me know if you have thoughts about the project and how we can improve it. I’m at rick at faneuilmedia.com.
