World Bank Projects on Google Map - geo.worldbank.org

Saturday, November 3. 2007

The World Bank has launched a very interesting Google map mashup, geo.worldbank.org, putting World Bank country stats, project information, news and more on the Google map. It's a pretty nice effort. I can see a lot of value from them putting *all* their relevant content on a map layer, and adding to it color coding of development indicators by country (they've done this as a separate project but it would be powerful if together with the map content.)

Hi Chris,
Thanks for mentioning Geo! It really is a first step for us and we will keep on exploring various mashups and API so stay tuned
