Eightmaps
A Google Maps mashup that shows the name and addresses of people who donated to Proposition 8. posted Once again, the equation of Google plus something that's been around forever (in this case, pubic donor info) equals a great big handwringing session!

“(in this case, pubic donor info) equals a great big handwringing session!” - What's a pubic donor?

Are we calling a basic thematic map a “mashup” now?

hmm I would like to find out if some of the people I know from the east coast are gay-haters or extremely conservative. Can we get a map for that? McCain donors in amounts greater than 500 anyone?

What's interesting is the very same people whining about this have published these kinds of lists for decades. Now that their own tactics are being used against them, they're crying like babies. Sorry fundies but you need to STFU and take your medicine. Open government, ain't it a bitch!

landon: Fundrace shows Google maps of everyone who contributed to the Obama campaign and you can zoom all the way down to individual addresses. It is on HuffPost which is a left leaning site but data is data and it is all there.

Can we get over this already? This is democracy in action, whether you like it or not. If conservatives did anything like this for those who voted for Obama, the liberal nuts would have them drawn and quartered. BuzzFeed had great content, once upon a time.
