Internet Map Mashups

There's a lot of hacking going on today. Google Maps and Yahoo are both now offering programming tools that enable their mapping services to get "hacked," i.e. programmed not only to display streets and highways but, for instance, to show craigslist apartment listings, or locations of crimes and police beats, or local traffic conditions. Awesome.
