Google Maps News Mashups: Washington Post, AP, bird flu

Washington Post World News Map - WashingtonPost.com RSS feeds have been used by Adam DuVander to create this unique world news mashup. The map displays color coded symbols over each region to show the concentration of stories based on the last 14 days. Clicking the symbols shows you the recent stories with applicable links to the news piece or to all stories for that region.
