Tomnod.com, a crowdsourcing website run by DigitalGlobe Inc., has tapped more than 2 million people to scan through satellite images searching for clues about missing Malaysian Airline Systems Bhd. Flight 370.
About 645,000 features have been flagged in pictures in Tomnod’s largest-ever campaign, DigitalGlobe said in a blog posting. The Longmont, Colorado-based company now has images covering 24,000 square kilometers (9,300 square miles) for searching, with surges in Web traffic sometimes knocking the site offline.
