Timewasters: What your neighbors are up to

Posted at 8:10 AM on February 5, 2008 by Bob Collins (0 Comments)

If you're one of those people who likes to read the Saturday real estate listings to find out how much your neighbors got for their house, you'll love this application. It uses the power of Google Maps to track what neighbors -- or anyone else -- are contributing to political campaigns.

I'm not quite convinced it's as complete as it should be (my zip code listed only 25 contributions), but if nothing else it's a good Timewaster.
