Singeo’s Singapore Bus Stops and Twittering and Skitching too
Posted by otterman on 8 June 2008
I caught Singeo’s announcement via Twitter that he had updated the Singapore Bus Stops and Bus Services Map to include SMRT bus services amongst other things.
I hopped over for a look and realised Singeo now also provides the means to grab a unique URL to link to the specific part of the map you are viewing.
So this morning, for example, while reviewing the Pedal Ubin FAQ, I added a link to a map at Changi Village close to the Changi Ferry Terminal – they can click on the bus icons to see which services reach there, and then there are links to bus route information – snipurl.com/pedalubinfaq. Must edit the webpage next.
There is also an IRIS search integrated into the bus stop information, and I am all the more likely to check IRIS when leaving campus since catching 95 is often a tricky business. When I examined Lower Kent Ridge Road’s bus stops though, I was surprised to find my bus stop missing! So I dropped a comment with Singeo and he twittered me for more information – amidst some meetings, I Skitch-ed an annotation of the corrections back at him:
Later that evening, during a Coastal Cleanup meeting which had me on Google Docs, Gtalk and Skype (partly because of Hua Qin), I saw a Singeo tweet that said to check the corrected map!
He had fixed it already!
It needs a little but more adjustment so I’ve skitch-ed those and twittered him from within my skitch web account. Sweet!
