Abstract
Map curators perform activities related to digital maps provided. These activities include adding and/or modifying information about map features displayed on the digital maps. Edits to these map features are included in a pulse stream which is formatted so as to be visually appealing to other curators who view the edits in the pulse stream. The pulse stream is distributed to other curators or to users have yet to provide edits to the digital maps. The pulse stream of edits informs these users of the activities that have transpired with respect to the digital maps in hopes to inspire them to further contribute additional edits to the digital maps.
