Thanks to Mike Pegg of GoogleMapsMania and John Musser of ProgrammableWeb for mentioning my Top 99 Women Google Maps Mashup

Here’s Top 99 Women on Google Maps. This list was compiled from askmen.com. The map shows where the Top 99 Women originally are from.
For geocoding I used Yahoo Geocoding (International).
I have also included Youtube videos for some of them like Jessica Alba, Angelina Jolie, Aishwarya Rai, Jennifer Aniston, Sienna Miller, Natalie Portman, Lindsay Lohan, Shania Twain.
I have created a Google Maps Mashup of Mumbai Bomb Blasts. Check it out at: mibazaar (Miike Pegg of Google Maps Mania makes a mention of this Mashup in his blog)
I put this together by inputting the bomb blast locations into a MySQL Database and then exporting it in XML format, to Javascript.
Since I grew up in Mumbai, I was kind of familiar with where the railway stations were. So I used a mapping tool http://www.mibazaar.com/testlatlng.html to get Latitude/Longitude. In conjunction with this I referenced wiki on Mumbai Railway Stations, since I could not recollect where certain railway stations were heading North on Suburban Western Railway (It’s been years since I left Bombay/Mumbai).

Couple of months back I had created a Google Maps Mashup of RSS Feeds from New York Times and RSS Feeds from Human Rights Watch Group.
Couple of days back I got a call from the folks at Human Rights Watch Group. They were looking for suggestions from Geo Developers as to what else can they do to make their data more easily accessible so that Developers can tap into their data and create mashups.
They were looking for suggestions as to kind of RSS Feeds or API’s developers would be interested in. If you have any suggestions or ideas do post a comment and I will pass it along.
I had created a mashup of Google Maps + US Presidents and their Birth Places, early during the year. Now July 4th is upon us so thought I would mention it again. Check the mashup here.
