Using Google Earth to save Haiti (dailycaller.com)

The main product referenced about 2/3 of the way down (UDOP) was built by my company (Thermopylae Sciences & Technologies) in the 2 weeks after the Haiti earthquake struck. It lets users upload, create, and edit content within their browser, as well as giving them access to a number of common tools, all in one place. It's currently the best visualization tool out there, and it's being used by a whole bunch of different agencies to coordinate relief efforts and spread information.

I'd be happy to answer any questions about it -- I know the article is a little light on technical details.
