    Not sure if you guys have seen/heard of these guys before, but they're  
a pretty bomb design firm out in SF that's doing lots of work with  
mapping and data visualizations:

Plus, a few good blogs from their staffers:

    Ya they are quite fantastic. Look out for their projects that deal  
with Oakland stats on where ex-cons live and such (govt. data thats  
public).

They also give a lot of talks in NYC. The last one was a Rhizome  
planned talk called NEXT CITY - moderated by Adam Greenfield. The  
panel was really excellent. Will look out for more of these and pass  
it to the list.

            I think it's also like Yahoo's new FireEagle, although FireEagle is  
more of a service than a full-on application (in other words, a site  
like facebook might use FireEagle to develop a tool like brightkite or  
dodgeball).
