= DiggMapThe Digg Map:
I'm a big fan of real-time Google Maps mashups. A few of my favorites are Dave Troy's FlickrVision and TwitterVision. Each of these maps show you fresh new photos and Twitters being added in real-time and displayed for you by their location on a Google Map. Another Google Maps mashup has emerged courtesy of Alan Spark in this same category, displaying diggs from Digg.com to a live map! It combines the recently released Digg API, the Google Maps API and Google AJAX Search API to make this one mapping app called: The Digg Map. The map will center itself on the geo-location of a Digg user who is currently digging a particular story. It's a fun way to find new Digg stories and also to see what geographies "digg" what..

hi Mike
Though we're not nearly as well known as Digg, Flickr, and Twitter, we've had a similar 'live activity' map on our site Help.com for a little while now, if you'd like to check it out:

We've done a bunch of integration of the google maps API into our user experience, and would love to get any feedback you have on what we've done. We've integrated mapping and geolocation pretty deeply throughout our user experience to create an emphasis on what we're doing with 'local', geotargeted Q&A/problem-solving communities.
btw: I just came across your blog, and love it! I've added it to my feed reader.
