ARC and National Geographic Announce Driving Tours Map of Appalachia

ARC and National Geographic Announce Driving Tours Map of Appalachia

The Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) and the National Geographic Society today announced the release of a new Appalachian Driving Tours Map. Commissioned by ARC, the map features 28 driving trails in the Appalachian Region that lead to a broad array of historical, archaeological, cultural, and scenic sites.

The driving tours map is the result of an alliance between ARC and National Geographic to design maps that will stimulate economic development by showcasing the remarkable diversity of the Appalachian Region’s natural and heritage assets.

Supplemented with colorful photos, descriptive text, and detailed information for travelers, the map has been distributed to 865,000 subscribers in the April 2008 issue of National Geographic Traveler magazine as well as to other target audiences in the Region.
...
Map readers are encouraged to “visit Appalachia” online through the Web site www.visitappalachia.com. The site includes downloadable maps of the 28 driving tours, Google map features to help travelers plan their next driving vacation to Appalachia, and links to the 13 Appalachian state tourism offices for additional information.

Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
