Haiti 360: Interactive Post-Earthquake Video Panoramas
In: web resources
24 Jan 2010
Technology has played an important role not only in getting relief to those affected by the Haiti earthquake, but in getting information out about how the quake affected the island nation.
CNN contributes a new series of immersive information visualizations in these 360 degree panoramic videos, where you can completely control the camera’s view during playback as well as zoom in and out.
Shot over the last week in Haiti’s capital of Port-au-Prince, the videos are powered by technology from Immersive Media — the same company that helped power much of Google’s Street View.
Have a look at the interactive videos at full size and let us know what you think.

CNN is right. Attacks in India were by terrorists on civilians and attacks by Israel on Hamas is retaliation to silence them. You may expect to see similar low key CNN reports when India attacks terror camps in Pakistan.

Well, it all depends on whether you have embeded the video into the powerpoint file or just linked it. And the difference between the two is as following:
What is Hyperlinking?
Hyperlinking is an element in an electronic document that links to another place. Typically, you click on the hyperlink to follow the link or path. When you hyperlink to a video, you are creating a path or “directions,” to the video and the video player application.
What is Embedding?
Inserting the downloaded video within the application so it plays in the frame/slide of the application.
And for safety's sake, when you email a powerpoint file, I suggest you to convert the file into a flash. Then all the hyperlinked files would be converted to be a part of the flash. And you don't need to worry if the file has been sent completely.

You have two ways to erase CNN:
1- If you want to remove their News Feeds (appears on your homepage) put your mouse over the right hand side of the headline and a new icon will appear that says HIDE. Then click HIDE CNN. You will no longer see status updates from CNN.
2- If you want to remove yourself as a fan then go to CNN's fan page. Scroll to the bottom and on your left hand side click on the link REMOVE ME FROM FANS.
And that's it!
