Google Maps and Business: SalesForce.com, Venture Cap

Here are more ways that the Google Maps API is being put to work in the business world:

SalesForce.com + Google Maps - Here is a mashup of Salesforce.com and Google Maps. This blog post describes it further: "The script was developed in PHP and utilizes the PHP Nusoap Sforce Toolkit, created by Ryan Choi, to communicate with the Sforce API and Phoogle, developed by System 7 Designs, to communicate with the Google API." Full directions for setting this up is located here.


Venture Captial Funding Map - This Google Map shows venture capital funding that is taking place in the Rocky Mountain region of the United States. The map displays the date, company and the round of funding the company is in.
