Regarding the Iteration 1 Blog review, here you can find our MapYour(Facebook)Buddies Project.
The purpose of this mashup is that after you signed in to facebook, you will see your buddies (based on their home location) on a Google Map.
How to use our mashup:
1.) go to the MapYour(Facebook)Buddies site.
2.) hit the "facebook" button/image
3.) A facebook (http://api.facebook.com/login.php) pages follows
4.) Sign in with your facebook user name and password
5.) The page with the map that shows the home locations of your buddies should be loaded
Note: Currently we still struggle with special characters in the facebook home locations. So, if one of your friends uses special characters in his/her home location field in facebook, the map / page couldn't be loaded. We will fix this until the next iteration. Sorry for this eventual inconvenience. For the case that you can't load the page or don't have a facebook account, it should look like this.
For the next iteration we also want to display your buddies in the list right of the map. Moreover the pins should include some more information about your buddies. Iteration one was only the start ;)
Concerning our project, Bud posted today "Map Your Buddies Catching a Trend?"
