Ave Wrigley, who does new media development at ITN, has done a very useful mashup, with a slightly different front-end feel, and it uses public sector data. It’s sort of too late for the lava lamps, but well worth a look:

I have been playing around with a map mashup site for Ofsted reports, using Google Maps.

It’s a bit beta-ish at the moment, but I thought it might be of
interest. Features are:

* proximity search to postcode
* schools categorised by type (with a dropdown selector to filter
schools displayed)
* automatic map resizing to accommodate all schools in search criteria
* links from markers to ofsted reports
* all data scraped from http://www.ofsted.gov.uk/
