We are mashing up IRS data on 1.4m charities, user reviews and ratings, wiki pages for each charity, and more. In addition, we are joining this data to merchant-funded rebate malls to generate donations through shopping, auction services and more.

As with any Google Map, all the "bubbles" will be clickable to show detailed information.

We would like to offer a site that offers our text alert services in Rwanda and/or Uganda where the Grameen Foundation has made inroads with Village Phone and offer them a text-based marketplace alert system. We want to send marketplace and micro-loan opportunity-alerts to cell phone users across Bangladesh, Uganda and Rwanda.We want to couple our opportunity alert service with Fair Tracing; creating a Fair Trade Alert mashup to ensure international business accountability.Done correctly, CellAlert.net could notify thousands of people oversees about requests for proposals and goods needed. For instance, oil-based agricultural crops essential to biodiesel production appear to be a potential world-changer for Africa, which is poised to become the #1 producer of biodiesel worldwide.CellAlert.net could create connections for vegetable oil buys directly between socially responsible companies and farmers in developing countries for their fuel needs. For instance, the Safeway Corporation recently switched their entire trucking fleet to biodiesel. We want to connect the developing world farmer to the Safeway type corporations ready to buy from developing markets for a fair price.Once the project is complete, we have plans to expand CellAlert.net as follows: EMERGENCY ALERTS, MEDICAL SUPPLY ALERTS, FREE ITEM ALERTS, LOAN ALERTS, LOCAL INNOVATION ALERTS, ENTREPRENEUR NETWORK ALERTS, REGIONAL NEWS ALERTS VOLUNTEER ALERTS

Neighbor-Sourcing info on a variety of significant local concerns and opportunities which allows 'Block Party' reporting to be transformed into relevant maps and or RSS notifications of urgent/pending issues.

Alchemlist will merge information provided by thousands of non-profits with proven geolocation and mapping technology. Non-profits will provide the information on who they are, what their purpose is, who they serve, and (most importantly) what they need. Visitors to Alchemlist will provide information on what they have and where they are located.Users can search for specific items/categories of items they have to donate and find a nearby non-profit that needs them.Users can search for non-profits in their geographic area and see what items they currently needUsers will be able to see a map of non-profitsIn the future they will also be able to search for non-profits by category (Youth, etc) A Facebook application is also being developed that will allow people to see a map of non-profits near them. Non-profits with Urgent Needs are indicated with a different symbol. Leveraging Facebook's social networking capabilities with Alchemlist's non-profit wishlist compilation, people will be able to immediately communicate with each other and work together to help those in need In the next phase, users will be able to participate in a scavenger hunts feature where they can join teams and gather items for non-profits. Individuals and teams will be able to set goals, score points, and compete.

The 4 main interfaces/data sources that people will interact with - news from http://daylife.com and http://groundreport.com and SMS/messaging capabilities from Twitter and Flurry mobs.CBC 'Pop Demand' allows users to specify keywords of social change that they want to keep track of. Users can submit these keywords, which are evaluated and added to the social channel taxonomy. Once the request for certain keywords exceeds a certain number, this keyword becomes an official channel. Some examples channels:* Crisis & Conflicts * Education * Energy * Social Sector Finance * Microfinance * Women's Rights * Cultural Rights * Child Rights * Human Trafficking * Poverty * Human Rights * Environment * Health * Community Improvement * Arts & Culture * Public & Social Benefit * Safety & Disaster * Employment Issues * Urban DevelopmentA user can subscribe to one or more channels over SMS. CBC continuously polls the news for these keywords, and notifies the subscribers of the respective channels over SMS or twitter with a summary of news of those keywords. CBC uses twitter to send and receive SMS. Twitter users can send a direct message to the daylife twitter user dlfe, to recommend keywords for subsciption (eg d dlfe tax 'microfinance'). The CBC system saves the keyword and adds it to the channel request list. News messages are also sent to the users as direct messages to their twitter user ids.

People who read an article by an author, or visit content associated with a tag, will be plotted on a map of the US/world. THe mashup will plot where the readers of the content come from. We publish 1500+ articles a month and have over 55,000 articles, over 8000 tags, over 10,000 member writers we'll be able to use this with.Readers will even be able to see a map of who has looked at the same articles. Imagine you are thinking of moving to a new location. You take articles you've read and look at maps of where the readers come from. That might give you an idea of where you'll find like minded people.We're also going to be adding polling to the site shortly, so we'll be able to map responses to polls. Our polling system will be open to any member to use, so it will be easy for anyone to create a poll, then map the results. This will be invaluable for campaigns, causes, advocacy orgs... Then, we also collect demographic info, so we'll be able to add that layer to the mapping.   

The core idea behind Your Mapper is to create an easy way to make public information that has long been locked up in internal government databases, and present it to the world in a way that is visually appealing, easy to understand, and local.Examples of these kinds of datasets would be crime, restaurant health reviews, traffic accidents, building permits, sex offender registries, property values, and pollution sources, or anything that can be linked to a physical address or location. Because each government office stores each of theses items internally in very different formats, it would take too many resources to create a relationship with these local agencies and obtain data dumps on a regular basis. Your Mapper empowers concerned citizens to collect and share this information, since they know their town or city and have a good idea of what others living there would want to see made public.I do not believe that altruism alone is enough to encourage local Mappers to load and maintain quality local data, so Your Mapper actually compensates the Mappers based on the amount of website advertising and embedded map revenue generated that is specifically related to their maps. This would empower the Mappers to become "local experts," much like Google's Knol project and Helium.com does.

Online, users with interact with photos, videos, public posts and detailed EPA data.Offline, people will be encouraged to document cleanup (or lack of clean up) activities and human stories of how living in such an area effects their lives. They can send tagged data to flickr, youtube, and post stories on blogs that will then be parsed to the correct Superfund site, making documentation collaborative, public and dynamic.

The mashup under development a Think New Orleans will provide a citizen driven tool for the notification of demolitions. Not only that, it will provide an interactive map of the recovery. Permit overlay – Citizens will be able to view the pace of construction and the nature of construction with an overlay of city building permits. The permit information exists as a set of EditGrid spreadsheets, geocoded using Google Geocoder. It is updated automatically, every day with the latest permits, extracted from the city website. This is data that is ripe for the mashing.City demolition overlay – We wrestle with the city to get an accurate list of the houses they intend to demolish. When we do, we will add that information as an overlay to the mashup.Permit and demolition notification – Neighborhood groups are the driving force of New Orleans’ recovery. We want to provide them with a notification tool, that will allow them to get daily updates on who’s rebuilding, who’s coming back. Incentive Eligable Inventory – As further tax incentives for restoration become available, the map will outline the historic districts and map the eligible housing inventory. The marker’s balloon will include the purchase price + estimated renovation – tax incentives = total cost to own, with links to financing at local banking partners. This will trun the mashup into an antidote to demolition.
