Hi everyone, a number of links to resources that might be useful for you have recently come my way:
Mapping
- WNYC’s John Keefe and Google Fusion Tables: http://johnkeefe.net/not-just-big-data-fusion-tables-for-little-ma
- Amanda Hickman at the CUNY Journalism School runs several classes on data journalism, and this blog post (I believe from one of her students) also discusses Fusion Tables: http://datadrivenjournalism.2013.journalism.cuny.edu/2013/03/04/google-fusion-table-mapping-review/
- Here’s a comparison of Fusion Tables and cartoDB: http://blog.cartodb.com/post/21264086445/comparing-fusion-tables-to-open-source-cartodb
