Magazine Roma

So here’s my latest project: Magazine Roma, a website about Rome. Images, sounds and words to document the city I live in. I created the site together with three friends and colleagues: Fabrizio, Federico and Antonio. The site is available both in Italian and English.

Magazine Roma is rather blog-like but has some interesting features.

• A (Google) map showing georeferenced posts, so you can spatially explore the city. We’re still defining the polygons to represent rome areas. You can use them to find all posts related to a specific area. We also have a KML to use with Google Earth.
• A nifty flash-based slideshow with sound powered by Soundslides.
• Photos are also accessible without a flash plugin. We use a (heavily modified) Lightbox script which gives you the image perfectly sized for you screen.
• The search box features useful (and cool) suggestions based on the available tags.

Well… that’s enough marketing-speak — Hope you like it.
