information aesthetics

It's interesting that another project that is extremely similar also made the news (well, Slashdot): gCensus.

as much as I understand, my post is about gCensus. I also included the project name in the original post.

however, I will include your link as well, to avoid any confusion.

Sorry about the confusion, I only looked at the juiceanlytics link and then wrote nonsense.

These are actually two different projects. gCensus is one, and the extremetech article writes about that. But the work by the people at Juice Analytics is completely separate (see also my comment on their blog and their response). It looks similar, and they only posted it two weeks ago. But these are still two separate things.

My mistake when I first sent you the suggestion, the interface is actually Google Earth (via KML), not Maps. And yes, there is another product with the same name, as Imran points out in the ExtremeTech article.

Thanks for the post - I am also adding to the Census/KML/Google Earth/Google Maps mashup madness. I am writing Ruby code to take Census data and map it in Google Earth. I've got samples to download and code to share. You can follow my progress here: http://censuskml.blogspot.com/
