And another maps mashup: Ofsted from Ave Wrigley

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/

Ideal Government

Let's say what we want from e-enabled government. Let's observe government first-hand. Let's say "Wouldn't It Be Better If" (WIBBI). Become an ethnographer of bureaucracy today! It beats getting frustrated with public services.
