Map mashups

March 22nd, 2007 by Benjamin Kuo

I was just reading an interesting article on map mashups in InformationWeek and noticed a mention of socalTECH’s venture capital map. The article discussing the business use of mashups, by Elena Malykhina at CMP , says:

It’s more common to find location mashups about the business world that have been created by independent developers, not the businesses themselves. A “deal map” at www.socaltech.com/intelligence/map, created with the Google Maps API, displays the geographic distribution of venture funding. Site visitors can narrow their results on a map by selecting an industry or round of funding.
