Mashup of Google Maps and Prop8 Supporters (eightmaps.com)

Though I think it is ridiculous that prop 8 failed (or succeeded, I'm Canadian, so not sure exactly what the prop said), this video was great http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1HpTBF6EfxY

but isn't posting the address of supporters an infringement of privacy? Is one better than the other?


We like anything government-related to happen in the clear light of day :)

I think campaigns of any sort are required to disclose their donors. A quick search landed me here (http://cal-access.ss.ca.gov/Campaign/Measures/Detail.aspx?id...), which appears to disclose the proposition's campaign finances.

I've seen a similar database of donors re:defense earmarks published by the Seattle Times (though it does not publish their locations). Always good for a chuckle...


A disturbingly high percentage of the markers I clicked were Realtors. I also saw one venture capitalist and one Google software engineer.


Mr. Paul Miller, living one block from the world's gayest corner, donated $300. Hilarious.
