A neat idea

So Paul Rademacher, i.e. the lead Tool developer for Dreamworks, has taken the Craig's List listings and built a scraper that pulls out all the housing listings, and allows you to filter by different criteria.

Ok, so that's not all that special.

But he then plugged it into the Google Maps API and basically created an interface that allows you to visually see all the housing listings on the craig's list for your area. Not particularly useful to me or anyone else on its own (unless you happened to live in that area and need a house). But a good proof of concept for people who want to develop for GMaps. I bet REMAX would love to get their hands in that. Now I just need a .NET wrapper for that, and some time to do sales pitches.
