I've was looking for an interesting project to get my hands on live maps API. Just to get the hang of developing cool application on top of Live maps.

I've started this Olympics Medal Count + Community Contributed Data + Live Maps Mashup

And It's almost complete.

This is still work in progress , since this countries list is not completed yet. But I'd thought I'd share the work so far.

Live maps with its extendible API/SDK allows you to do cool things. Here is one, taking the countries 2008 Olympic games medal counts, asking the community to help with getting countries coordinates, and mashing it all up with javascript to create a cool representation of nations of the worlds map with their Beijing 2008 medals count.

Here is what's ready so far.

No fancy ASP.Net stuff was used to build this, just a bunch of ye-olde-regex magic procedures.
