Have you ever wanted to know the latest news from around the world instantly? Of course, you can subscribe to blogs, look at Twitter, or subscribe to mobile updates, but that all takes up valuable time and money. Well say goodbye to all that trouble and say hello to MappedUp.
Mapped up is a piece of software that can be downloaded for both a Mac or Windows operating systems. It comes in two forms including a screensaver or an active desktop. Essentially what it does is shows a map of the world and updates itself from various news sources around the world, popping up the latest news headlines.
Under the hood, MappedUp continuously tracks a large amount of RSS feeds. These feeds are represented by a red-to-yellow dot on the worldmap: red means the feed has just been updated; yellow means the feed hasn’t been updated in a while. By rolling your mouse over the dots, you can read the titles of all new articles. By clicking a title, you jump to the author’s website to read the entire article.
As mentioned this program uses RSS feeds. This means that you can also apply your personal subscriptions to this great software and see your subscriptions pop up instantaneously when they’re updated. In essence when you subscribe to Bradwelltv.com you will be able to see a new post almost immediately after publication.
