It's cool to find news by clicking on a map, isnt'it ? Well in 2006, a Montreal-based "Internet TV News Network" has been launched to deliver free, all-video broadcast news clips using Web technology.
First it was called MediaScrape, then it changed its name to Internet Broadcast Corp. (and the to URL NuVu.tv) then back again to the original name with a new site redesign, a new Google Maps integration, more content providers, new funding. (It was Youtube in fact that insisted for the original name). The site made partnership with YouTube to provide language-specific content to YouTube's regional sites, like YouTube UK, Ireland, Brazil, Turkey, and so on...
The idea is of course to digitize analogue TV broadcasts in a format that is high-quality video, on-demand, translated on location, interactive, free, searchable and archived. And now MediaScrape is a Google NewsMap which is partnered directly with broadcast news outlets such as the BBC, CBC, Asia News International and 25 other leading global news broadcasters.
Their database has 35,000 news clips : to get started you can click on a region to see top news clips plotted to a Google Map based on their specific location.

Sorry. Whatever you do, do it to the purpose; do it thoroughly, not superficially. Go to the bottom of things. Any thing half done, or half known, is in my mind, neither done nor known at all. Nay, worse, for it often misleads. Help me! Need information about: Tent air conditioners. I found only this - pantene prov conditioners. Phase technologies designs and manufactures innovative electronic products based on power switching technologies. Ebonite ultra dry hand conditioner dozen. With respect :cool:, Rida from Romania.
