Reuters AlertNet Interactive Map Application IDV Solutions and Microsoft collaborated with the Reuters Foundation to create a new version of their website to allow news articles concerning flooding, spread of disease, scarcity of food, incidents of political unrest, etc. to be intuitively viewed in their geographic context. The application also displays the news as thematically shaded regions on a map, enabling a highly engaging, easy to navigate interface. The site also has the ability to accommodate new data sources and real-time data feeds, such as GeoRSS. The solution leverages IDV Solutions' Visual Fusion Server® along with Microsoft's SharePoint and Virtual Earth.   Launch Application
