Introducing mappit.ai

Earth’s daily zeitgeist, on a map. Trending, corroborated stories that scope to your view. Overlays like S&P 500 & Today in History. Drop pins, subscribe to locations & follow users. Chat with Marco for your morning news!

The most impressive thing about Mappit is that it retains a memory of all of the news stories, specifically where and when they occurred. It’s a time-aware map. So search & chat accept date ranges as parameters, and the entire map can be filtered by date to show you how the world looked at a point in history. Quite powerful when combined with overlays like S&P 500 or Sentiment.

The site is only 5 days old. Already seeing more than 1,000 users per day browsing the latest headlines, and a handful of users have signed up to drop their own pins & subscribe to feeds. Ultimately it will be a content-driven site with revenue coming from ads as well as some users paying to drop pins & subscribe to feeds. The real unlock will happen when we have enough users to justify having a business tier so they can drop pins on the map that will be visible to everyone in their local & For You feeds, as well as showing up in search results and chats with Marco.

It’s my goal to get to that point within one year of launch. By that time the historical map views will have 500K stories mapped over a year, along with the stock market & sentiment information. Mining that for datasets to ingest with Correlation Studio (correlationstudio.com) will be part of the mission.

In tandem with the launch of Mappit we’ve launched the $MAPPIT token on Robinhood. This process was facilitated by Orynth, a brilliant new application that allows solo founders to launch tokens and collect the transaction fees to fund their work. The current trade information is always just a click away from the Mappit status bar. For those trading directly:
