There has been a few questions around map tips and how these work on ArcGIS Online. Either as a hover over or when a user clicks on a feature. Bernie provides more detail into how these work and how you create better map tips when using ArcGIS Explorer Online.

ArcGIS for Emergency Management is an openly available baseline configuration of mission-specific templates, tools, and applications sitting on top of the flexible and scalable ArcGIS platform reference architecture.
The platform organizes, manages, and delivers appropriate information and data to emergency management personnel based on their specific missions and roles within the organization. As an organization begins to manage its data, perform hazard analysis and risk assessment for its areas of interest, and deliver information in an effective manner, it can begin to respond more effectively and recover more quickly.

Here’s your chance to test out the Esri Geoportal Server running on your very own computer already installed and configured in its own self-contained operating system. Just boot and go.
You’ll get a Linux LiveDVD preconfigured with a running Esri Geoportal Server. It can either be booted directly from a DVD drive or run as a virtual machine. You can download the .iso or request a physical DVD.
This is an announcement that ArcGIS 10 Service Pack 5, is planned to be available in July 2012, and contains a list of issues targeted for this upcoming release.
If you have any feedback or questions regarding this targeted list then please post in the forums. If you have additional enhancements or ideas that you would like to see included in future service packs or releases, please post them on ArcGIS Ideas.
The Light Grey Canvas basemap has now been updated with New Zealand coverage. This significant update provides nationwide coverage for a number of countries making it much more useful for thematic maps of subjects throughout the world.
The canvas basemap focuses attention on your thematic content by providing a neutral background containing minimal colors, labels and features. Its reference layer sits on top of your thematic layers, providing geographic context and allowing your data to come to the foreground.
The most significant change in this release is that the canvas basemap now contains additional, useful coverage worldwide, and detailed nationwide coverage in nearly 50 additional countries. This map was developed by Esri using NAVTEQ data for North America, DeLorme basemap layers, and Esri basemap data.
The canvas basemap also includes boundaries, city labels and outlines, and major roads worldwide from 1:591M scale to 1:72k scale. Thematic maps of country data, major administrative units (states, provinces, counties, etc.) and some smaller geographies benefit from this change.
Instructions provided describe how to create an ArcGIS.com WebMap using parameters within a URL.
This update contains a minor fix to the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for Android Eclipse plugin. The 1.1 Eclipse plugin was not honoring our new Classpath Container for ArcGIS for Android projects.
Eclipse classpath containers are an organized, user-friendly way to manage Java build paths in Eclipse. ArcGIS Android project dependencies are a group of java libraries referenced as ArcGIS for Android 1.1.1. The view of the libraries is simplified in the Eclipse Java Perspective as a single entry that can be expanded to view the entire set.
The 1.1.1 SDK plugin has been fixed to ensure the libraries are honoured in new projects and samples. There is no change to the API or the functionality.
ArcGIS 10.1 is coming soon and many have been asking questions around what the recommended system requirements are. Updated system requirements for ArcGIS 10.1 are now available and can be found on the new resource centre here: http://resourcesbeta.arcgis.com/
I wanted to take these and add my recommended system requirements for ArcGIS 10/10.1.
A bug in ArcGIS Desktop 10.0 SP4 (NIM079126) that causes the Spatial Join tool to produce NULL results has been fixed with the release of the ArcGIS 10.0 SP4 (Desktop, Engine, Server) Spatial Join Tool Patch.
Several map services on ArcGIS Online have been updated. These are services that fall under (services.arcgisonline.com and server.arcgisonline.com).
If you have previously used any of the hosted map services and you experience issues while using them, try clearing your cache.
If you have feedback or comments, please post them to the forums at forums.arcgis.com.
