I’m currently drowning in submissions. Perhaps email wasn’t the best mechanism for that, eh? Ahh well, live and learn. A victim of our own success. I hope to catch up by the weekend. There are many international ones, so that should start to satisfy some complaints about the map being too US centric. For anybody reading this that has or is going to submit…. please include an address or a lat/long (just a url, or a url and a city doesn’t cut it).

A very successful day in blogosphere for the map. Made the Digg front page and del.icio.us/popular page for the first time! (we got close to the del.icio.us/popular page for NetworthIQ). But even more exciting was that Tim O’Reilly (yes the one who publishes all those books on your bookshelf at work), who helped define the Web 2.0 movement, posted: “It is indeed interesting. A lot of apps I haven’t followed (and missing a lot that I have) so I can’t speak to how thoroughly it covers Web 2.

Looks like the map is going over well. Here’s what’s happened so far. Dion Hinchcliffe says: “Visually shows where Web 2.0 development creativity is actually happening, using the latest Web 2.0 software lists. A pretty cool data point.” Google Maps Mania posted its review: “Ryan Williams has put together a great new Google Maps mashup called ‘The Web 2.0 Innovation Map’” Emily Chang added it to eHub and is going to let me see the entire feed.

Introducing the Web 2.0 Innovation Map. We all know Silicon Valley is hot when it comes to web startups. But, what about other areas of the country? Are there any hidden hotbeds of web talent? What other groups were in the northwest along with Fourio? These were some of the questions I was looking to answer. Now, Web 2.0 can be visualized, using what else, but the Google Maps API and Yahoo Geocoding API.
