Craigslist + Google Maps + Geekery = Awesome

This came up in a meeting today and I hadn’t seen it yet. I’m pretty sure you don’t care about how (in detail) it’s done, but suffice it to say that a programmer took Google Maps and housing information from Craigslist and made an interactive map that shows you, on the map, where all the rentals in your area are and pops up any pictures available when you click on one. It’s the coolest thing ever. Well, maybe not ever. But it’s cool. It’s all at HousingMaps.com.
