Each month, social changemakers and technological forerunners come together at Net Tuesday events around the world to mix, swap stories and ideas, build new relationships, and reinforce our online NetSquared community. These monthly events offer a great opportunity for people from all stretches of social change and social media to collaborate, whether you're a developer, innovator, programmer, entrepreneur or part of a nonprofit organization. The Phoenix Net Tuesday is looking for a new organizer and hoping you're it!

This past summer, I helped three park groups place community public art in their parks. A few neighbors near one of the parks had concerns about homeless people sleeping in/near the sculpture, and it became necessary for us to generate and document overwhelming community support to obtain the required city permits.

I used Google Maps to see where the neighbors actually lived in relation to the proposed site, typing in each of hundreds of addresses by hand using the Google Maps "My Maps" feature. Recently, some awesome Google maps have been created about the So Cal fires.

Where o where is the app that imports a spreadsheet of addresses, lets you choose the markers and visually illustrates community support?
