HEAVEN LAB / HONG KONG

Live Gossip Map

A community information map for discovering reports about nearby incidents, disruptions and local happenings in Hong Kong.

What is available now

The map displays the Transport Department's Special Traffic News, with original descriptions and clearly labelled approximate locations. Textured 3D mapping is provided by the Lands Department, HKSAR Government. The interface supports Cantonese and English.

The public map includes location-qualified public-source observations, including unverified social posts. Source captions or explicitly labelled public-index excerpts, timestamps, source links and location evidence remain distinguishable from editorial labels. Multiple reports may be grouped as one event. Small map previews can show a provider-owned image; selecting a social post loads its provider preview immediately where supported. Local imports and fictional demos remain available through internal tools.

The internal Threads connection remains restricted to nominated test accounts and available permissions. It is separate from public web-index discovery and does not establish broad Meta API access.

Discovery and coverage

Hermes Gossip Scout runs bounded public-source searches on a schedule, using structured official data and search-index results for Threads, Facebook, Instagram and configured public websites. A supported Hong Kong location, usable source text and evidence of a recent original publication normally make an observation map-visible. Confidence, direct-page confirmation and sensitivity affect attribution, neutral wording and editorial review rather than automatically hiding the marker. Search results may be stale, incomplete or inaccessible. Private groups and restricted content are excluded. The service does not promise complete coverage, automatic comment review or faster-than-news detection.

This is an independent community information prototype, not an official emergency alert service. Social reports may be unverified; popularity is not proof of accuracy. Map locations may be approximate, and the absence of a marker does not mean an area is safe. Consult original sources and official instructions.

Operator and contact

Live Gossip Map is operated by Heaven Lab as its own public-facing product. It is not a service for managing other businesses' social media accounts.
