I just sat through an earthquake; a bit shaking but nothing damaged; no one was hurt. That gave me an idea: why don't I show earthquakes on a Virtual Earth Map using Popfly, Microsoft's new mashup service?
- Get Geo-RSS Data from the USGS
- Convert the RSS Items to Virtual Earth Pushpins
Here are the Magnitude 5+ earthquakes for the past 7 days:
If you are on popfly, come over to my page at http://www.popfly.ms/users/MS-Synergist. If you're not, it's free to join and start mashing up with a design tool created in Silverlight!

I have recorded a screencast with Camtasia Studio that shows how I embedded a Virtual Earth control into a Groove Workspace. If you want to see this in action, send me a message and I will invite you to the workspace. I will make another post shortly on my workflow on getting the Camtasia screencast into a Silverlight Streaming application with picture-in-picture.
