Summary

The Earthquakes Monitor app for Windows Phone is a tool that reports nearby earthquake activity directly to users' phones by checking the USGS RSS feed every two minutes. The application was initially started as a case study in 2011 and has since evolved to include multiple data sources, maps, localization, and push notifications functionality. Developed by George Spyrou, a software engineer with over 10 years of experience, the app is designed to provide users with real-time information on earthquakes, including magnitude, location, and elapsed time from event occurrence. The future plans for the product include versions for Windows 8 Metro and iOS, as well as integration with Twilio's services, which George uses to power the app's push notifications.
