Thanks for the tip David! Ideally, @MapWarper might develop a contributory interface similar to that of Wikipedia, where it’s easy to roll-back a novice user’s mistaken efforts, and even lock a page if it happens repeatedly.

If historical opening- and closing-date attributes could be added to each section of railway line on @openrailwaymap, we could animate the construction of railways around the world from the 19th Century to today. Try Time-machine.Earth to see how this looks for Australia.

The OpenLayers Editor by @geops is a really nifty piece of interactive design. I don't normally like tool-based interfaces, but the mouse-over effects make up for that. Try it out and let me know what you think! openlayers-editor.geops.de

Ancient Australia in your hand! These 'lenticular' cards contrast the Greater Australian continent #Sahul 20,000 years ago (ice-sheets and drier climate included) with how the region looks today. Hoping someday to do a big print-run for schools and museums.

Three hours scouring the @Library_Vic microfilms, to fill one more gap in my dataset of the world’s first feature film touring Australia and the world. Visualisation coming soon!

Just traded some user-interface feedback with the guys from @proquoAU on our respective systems. I guess that shows they walk their talk!

Yep, @GerryGannon really made the #ISDE7 conference, with his entertaining yet insightful comments to kick off discussions.
Now that #ISDE is over, perhaps we can keep in touch via the #digitalearth tag, as inaugurated by @hfsummers and @ruthjelley
Awesome singer at the #ISDE7 Gala Dinner. Hey you - YES YOU - stop tweeting - get dancing!!!!
Go easy guys! My talk's first up at #ISDE7 tomorrow!!!!
Pretty transitions... but why give a presentation on motion capture without showing any video of the results?!?
