Google formally announces Google Voter Info Map

Category: Google Maps (Google Local) – Mike – 7:25 am

Google has formally announced Maps.Google.com/Vote that I covered in mid September.

In addition to offering voting information and polling places (coming October 15) via Maps they are making the maplet available as a widget for your website via a their Gadget creator:

As I mentioned in my earlier post, this type of mash up of deep local data with Maps offers an inkling of type of local data that will be presented on a national scale that we will be seeing over the next 12 to 18 months. It will be exciting times indeed for local.
