Atlanta Gas Crisis Line Spotter

Exclusively on the Dash GPS - Drive around and submit places you see a line for gas. A line means that station has the valuable resource.

View the results on the map.

A Dash user simply adds the application via their account at my.dash.net, clicks the application button when near a gas station, adds the station name (you can even add price), and submits to Mapicurious.

Looking for other ideas to alleviate the panic of looking for gas. My sipper is OK for the moment.

Thanks,

Helping Pakistan Find the Terrorists/Taliban?

A funny thing happened when I stepped away from the computer this evening:

Watching an interview by NBC's Anne Curry with Pakistan's President Ali Asif Zardari on the Nightly News, he proposed a simple solution to stymie the terrorists in Pakistan: “Give us the intelligence, and we will do the job."

As NBC showed nice Google Earth imagery over Pakistan, I thought about Tim O'Reilly's suggestion last week at the Web 2.0 Expo "...to ask yourself, are we working on the right things?"

So with all the crowd sourcing, the updated disaster imagery of hurricane and fire impact areas, and the mantra of "Do no evil" of Google - Why can't we crowd source the study of imagery of the Pakistan hills?

With enough eyeballs on decent satellite imagery, we could spot every frickin movement of cows, camels, clouds, and cohorts.

Then we could give Pakistan all the intelligence it supposedly needs to capture the bad guys.

Could we accomplish this without endangering the good guys?

Just thinking...

A little disclosure - I did recently see Morgan Spurlock's Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden?
