My Blog has been nominated for this years New Statesman New Media Award, in the Modernising government category, which aims to highlight “the most innovative use of new media technology to improve efficiency and modernise services at any level of government.”
While I’m very pleased to be nominated, I am most proud of the fact that the nomination came from Tom Steinberg of mysociety, the driving force behind the www.theyworkforyou.com and www.writetothem.com websites, two of the most influential public participation websites in the UK.

Google maps does Europe
Google maps (not local any more) now has street level mapping of most of Europe, expanding out from the mapping which has been available for the UK. As in the UK most of the mapping appears to be from Tele Atlas, with various imagery companies providing the imagery. Also new is a very nice dynamic context map display in the lower right corner of the map.
