Map-based visualization of different kinds of information, which can be geo-coded to a particular location, becomes more and more popular, as it is very well accepted and understood by end-users. However, a simple map interface is not enough if we aim to provide information about objects coming from vast and dynamic information spaces such as the Web or social networks are. In this paper, we propose a novel method for intelligent visualization of generic objects within a map interface called IntelliView, based on an extensive evaluation and ranking of objects including both content and collaborative-based approaches. We describe the method implementation in a web-based application called Present, which is aimed at recycling items in social networks together with an experiment aimed at evaluation of proposed approach.
