Google Maps w/housing
Source: boingboing.netThis hack on Craigslist and GoogleMaps is amazing: the service places all the houses/apartments for rent/sale on Craigslist as waypoints on a Google Map, color-coded by price, with links to the Craigslist ads.

Thanks for sharing.
.......................................WOW.
Being a Geography dork, I shouldnt say that I am suprised at this....but I am. Not that I wouldve thought the technology wasnt there, just that I never thought people would really be bright enough to do stuff like this.
Ditto to all the comments, I'm highly impressed.
Wow,thats great, wish they had it for my city too. That is a really great tool for people wanting to purchase or rent. Its also a good way to see housing prices in different cities.
Very impressive. I wish this was implemented for craigslist Vancouver and craigslist Toronto. I don't see why they did not implement this for all of the supported cities... should be the same method each time.
You know, when I click on "North Bay", it doesn't show my city but when I scroll over that direction, it does show it. (Of course, there is ONE measley listing!) So I wonder if it is available for some cities that it doesn't appear to be available for? Or will be in the future, when there is enough interest (or whatever)?
