The worldkit is an open-source Flash
application developed by Mikel Maron. It converts map image pixels to real-world geographic coordinates (specified in
the config.xml file along with other map parameters.)
The map is annotated with RSS items (from an xml file or URL) with latitude and longitude (geotagging),
displayed with symbols (squares, circles, triangles) or other icons.
A text box will pop-up for each RSS item, and become a hyperlink to other web pages.
