more google map fun following housing maps the über-hack that dragged together google maps and craiglists' rent prices together. Beyond being natty, a vastly underrated quality, and overdue for reappraisal in the same way that decorative was some years ago, there's also a interesting process of the spatialisation of information that is happening. Of course, this is nothing at all new, but having an open API allowing people that tinker to tinker all they like, its encouraging the tuftefication of the internet, and of written languages.

(please excuse the hyperbole, but I think that culturally it has a lot of potential ramifications, and these sorts of things will get a large user base as time goes on).
