It may be a little buggy.)</em> <p align="justify"><strong>Overview</strong><br /> Blue Puddle is an interactive online mapping tool developed by an interdisciplinary team of students at the University of Michigan. The Blue Puddle software takes advantage of the Internet&acute;s distributed authorship capabilities to create maps that draw on users&acute; collective memory and subjective experience of a city. These maps foster the emergence of stories about the city that are more rich than any single author could create.</p> <p align="justify"><strong>How It Works</strong><br /> Users can create a map and post images, text, video and audio to points on that map. Other users can make mash-ups by combining two or more maps to create interesting hybrids.</p> <p align="justify">Blue Puddle also offer research grants to community organizations or interested parties. Our grant provides training with a GPS enabled camera and instruction on how to use the software.
