Picked up portions of this from All Points Blog today. Where 2.0 is a conference dedicated to “neographers”, that new breed of mappers that are using free and open source map technology to develop some fairly advanced and easy to use maps (for the most part).

It seems as though Jared is keeping track of last Tuesday night’s tornado destruction, American Red Cross shelters, deaths, News Stories, etc. on his Google “My Maps”.
