Mathew Kane, a doctoral student in the Indiana University School of
Informatics, has generated an interesting Google mashup.
He extracted publicly available donor information from the non-profit
Fundrace Project, an "online resource that details and maps donors' information derived
from records on file with the Federal Election Commission from the 2004
elections," and made it mappable at the individual donor level.
The point of the project (press release here) was to expose data that people consider private, but is actually part of the public record. All you have to do is key in a ZIP Code and you'll get a map showing those who donated there. Click on a pin and you'll get the donor's name, address, amount given, and to which 2004 presidential candidate.
