Using GeoTwitter to track the fires in LA

Every year before Halloween, the fires begin here in Southern California. Tonight I was using GeoTwitter GeoRSS Editor to track the fire to share it with my family and friends.

The steps to create your georss feed is pretty simple, add as many lines, points and polygons into the map and press Save, after giving your feed a name, the system will provide you with a feed to share with your favorite viewer.

You can see other users georss feeds bellowed saved by the system.

What's next on the GeoTwitter Editor?

I've put off the development of the Editor long enough, I have been extremely busy with other side projects, yet the time has come to get to work in this tool. After all the feedback, I believe I am going to follow the recommendation to allow to save your feeds forever, or until I delete it, for user collaboration. Also when entering points, lines and polygons I'll ask for a title and description to build the body of the feed. I'll keep a date and time of the last update. Hopefully the changes will be complete by the end of the month, I'll update the source code to codeplex as previously done.

Any other ideas or suggestions are welcome.

Cheers

Al
