I have yet to try this but it looks a great way to create interactive maps and embed them in your site.

This from the site's blurb "Create interactive maps and embed them on your site. Great for keeping track of an event and linking back to archived information."

The geo quiz option is great! You can make very entertaining as well as educational geo games. We have used it on the travel web site of Aftenposten, Norway's largest newspaper, and it has been tremendously popular among readers. For an example, check out this example (in Norwegian):

Imagine turning tweeting into live chat so that you can engage in real-time conversation with new contacts and follow up stories. Could this be the missing link for journalists in their social media newsgathering? Just signed up for a play.

This from the Nurphy site's blurb: "Every Twitter user needs a place to bring their friends & followers together to chat, and that's what Nurph Channels do best. Extend the conversation by chatting in real-time with your Twitter friends whilst your followers can watch"
