Outside.In MyStory Tool Puts Your Blog Posts On The Map


Outside.in has an interactive tool called MyStory, which will map the location of your blog posts that contain local information — a neighborhood school, development, or other location (add the address if you can). You can then copy and paste the code to display the map to your blog or website. Clicking a location will take the reader to the blog post.  It’s a neat way to visually display your local content.  Oh yeah, it’s FREE.

You can customize the map size and display up to 6 months worth of local content. Here’s a MyStory map of my posts for the last week.  Click the pin to see the post.

  • How about a mind map for those blog posts that are not tied to geography?
  • Once again your northern neighbors are left out in the cold.
  • I searched Vancouver and found these. Have you tried to add your blog to outside.in?

  • Yes, mind maps, tag clouds, even a blog post surfer can add interest and help consumers connect with you and your content.

    I used to use Film Loop (now Joggle) to archive posts.

    IMO the goal is to weave all related content together in a user friendly and interesting way.

    Re: Out in the Cold

    Of course, that is what prompted the comment. Vancouver Washington is 250 + - mile distance from Vancouver BC.

    Not to be picky, but me thinks, that's stretching the neighborhood concept a bit far don't you? :>)
  • I see, said the blind man...

    Got a little thread going over at ROB's on video. What's your take on this topic?
  • I like video, slideshows and any type of visual communication tool (we all
    know photos are a must). Besides providing another way to communicate, it
    adds other marketing channels-- the video sites, including the oft
    overlooked "how to" sites. I think video may also be useful for
    communicating neighborhood flavor and client testimonials. To the extent
    video can create an emotional response and trigger a call to an agent, I'm
    all for it.

    The problems revolve around cost to hire a pro vs. DIY difficulty. There
    are some solutions. One CT broker I met at RISMedia in NYC uses Animoto and
    video syndicators. He sold a house doing it, so it works.
  • Insightful read. I have stumbled and twittered this for my friends. Others no doubt will like it like I did.
