The latest Faneuil Media project – a map of homicides in New York City from 2003 to 2005 – launched on NYTimes.com on Thursday night. Like the last project that we did, this one was built by Brian Hamman.
Each of these projects moves us a few steps forward. I think this is one of the most useful maps we’ve built to date. Who doesn’t want to know what's been happening in their neighborhood over the past three years?
This map is also very easy to browse. Brian did a great job of laying things out, and Samantha Storey, the Times producer we worked with, gave us great feedback.
The crime map also plots more data than anything we’ve done before – or any Google map on a high-traffic site that I can find. That challenged us a bit, but it’s working well now.
As always, let us know how you think we can build on this.
