Continuing with giant theme for today is a new website by the BBC that allows you to superimpose events, places and things on different parts of the world to compare scale. Want to see how big the Glastonbury Festival would be in Guernsey, or scale of Pakistan’s floods? How Big Really allows you to do that and truly appreciate the scale. I think it works particularly well in Guernsey due to our small size and clear geographic boarders
The website mashes Google Maps with additional data and visual overlays. I found it a bit slow which surprised me as the Beeb and Google are usually very fast. I’m sure they’ll keep adding more events and locations to the map and new features. It would be nice to have animated overlays that show the progression of events or the advance in technology etc.
