Web 2.0 Innovation Map

I usually don't post "popular" things, but this one is really neat. Probably one of the more fun Google Maps mashups I've seen.

The Web 2.0 Innovation Map places popular Web 2.0 sites on a Google Map based on where the site is located.

We're listed as Bloomfield Hills, MI which is where I'm originally from (and where the WHOIS shows for Openomy), but we're really based in Chicago.

One thing that really surpised me was just how distributed it actually is. I expected a whole bag of Silicon Valley (which there were), some in Seattle (which there were), then maybe ten or so in New York, then maybe three or four in Chicago (which there were) and that would be about it. Turns out it's much more distributed than that.

Ian, hey, thanks for the link! You're correct about the interesting dispersal of projects across the U.S. and Canada, as well as around the world. We were a bit surprised, too, once the data hit the map.

I found your blog through our referral logs and I've noted the correct location of Openomy per your comments. I'll fix it in the next round of updates. Let us know if you know of anyone else who either should be added or has an incorrect address.

Can't wait to see more from Openomy!
