We first told you about the excellent Meograph tool back in May when they opened for limited beta testing. It is a tool for creating “four dimensional story-telling” with remarkable potential, and it’s been steadily improving since then. Think of it as multi-media visualizations on top of Google Earth.
Today, they’ve added a few more features and opened the door for everyone to join. The new features include:
• Full authoring capabilities: Easily create your own meograph, by simply providing facts, links, and media.
• Widely sharable: Embed your meograph on other sites, plus easily share on social networks.
• Earth/Maps toggle: Switch between mapping platforms for better performance on different devices.
• Publish on/off: Keep your work private while in progress before sharing it with your friends.
It’s a very well-produced tool, and I expect it’ll find great use as a storytelling tool. Go try it for yourself at meograph.com and leave a comment sharing your best meographs for all of us to see.
