[ddj] Maps/dataviz built into scrollable story-telling - examples?

Bjorn:

We do this with Silk.co (a free tool for data journalists)  See these
examples:

ebola-outbreaks.silk.co
drone-strikes.silk.co
kickstarter-projects.silk.co/

These are scrollable but hosted on our domain.

But each map can be embedded with text blocks interspersed (or videos or
live twitter stream or other visualizations) like here:

Embedded maps are Google Maps and no geocoding is required - it recognized
plain text location data in a CSV.
