Crowdsourcing Neighborhood Boundaries
To contact us Click HERE
Bostonography is running a project to find out where Bostonians believe their neighborhood boundaries lie.
The project is using a Google Maps tool which allows participants to draw on a Google Map where they think Boston neighborhood boundaries run. This has allowed Bostonography to create a map of all the amalgamated responses so far.
The results for each neighborhood are also being analysed to see which neighborhood boundaries participants have a strong agreement about and to highlight areas where there are contradictory opinions about which neighborhood they belong to.

Transit Tweets on Google Maps
To contact us Click HERE
Transid's RER Tweet Map is a heat map of over 4,000 Tweets in Paris that mention the RER (Paris' rapid transit system).

The map includes a number of options that allow you to adjust the display of the HeatMap layer on the map. The Google Maps API gives developer options to adjust the radius of data points, the opacity of the layer and the colors used. Transid's RER Tweet Map has created buttons to allow the users to change these elements themselves to adjust how the heat map displays on the map.

6 Easy Ways to Save on Vacation Expenses
To contact us Click HERE
• Book your airline ticket after midnight on Wednesday in the time zone where the airport's hub is located. This is the time when budget fares hit the market.
• Use alternative airports. Big city airports aren't always the cheapest. Compare surrounding areas.
• Check out "Driveaway Deals." Car companies often have too many cars in certain locations, so you can get great deals on renting these cars and driving them to different destinations.
• Skip car rental insurance. Your car insurance on your personal vehicle usually covers you driving a rental car. Check with your insurance company for details.
• Book hotel rooms with kitchenettes. That way, you don't have to eat all of your meals out.
• Negotiate. Many hotels, resorts, and other vacation destinations offer freebies, such as the 3rd night free. Work them. Ask for a better rate, an extra free day, and the like. You'll be surprised on the deals you can get!

Airline Services that might Sweeten the Deal
To contact us Click HERE
In recent years, airlines have cut services such as meals and free on-board entertainment. They've also raised booking fees, and started charging for baggage. But what, if anything, have they added to their service list that might make flying more affordable and/or enjoyable?
WiFi
American Airlines, Delta, Virgin, Southwest, and Jet Blue airlines offer, or have plans to offer, WiFi access on many fleets. Unfortunately, access isn't offered for free. On American Airlines, for example, laptop users will pay $9.95 for flights under 3 hours, and $12.95 for longer flights. Other device users will be charged a flat fee of $7.95.
Frequent Flyer Programs
Nearly all major airlines offer frequent flyer programs, but some claim to be better than others. Check out this article from Smarter Travel, and pick the program that's right for you.
Non-Stop Flights
It's often hard to get a non-stop flight between destinations, but as the travel industry continues to struggle, airlines are adding more non-stop flights to try and lure travelers their way. Many of these non-stop offers are seasonal, however, such as Alaska Airlines service between Seattle or Portland to Cancun, Mexico. Check airlines for specific details.
