Precinct Mapping

Getting people to map has been my passion in the last few years and I'm glad I found a buddy who can translate my idea into something useful for a lot of people. Couple that with a company and friends and community who supports crazy ideas equals a useful app for voters and those who want to volunteer.

I really pushed hard to get back to work in order to run this project again for this year's election and I was deliriously happy when it was featured on Jessica Soho's State of the Nation and ANC Alerts.




Weee! Thanks a heap Dan, Gail, Ryan, Vince, Reymart, Juned, Chelle, Allan, Vanj, JR, Theo, Bernie, Yen, Anne, Richard, Noel, Avel, Doc Remo, Andrew, Clint, Ryann, Ruben, Bino, AJ, Fatz, Yunel and the many, many people who contributed to make this project successful (hope I didn't forget anyone!).

Google Find Your Precinct (and Help by Mapping Too!)

I didn't realize that's it's been 2 weeks since I last made a post. Sad fez! I have been terribly busy running around  for work. I'm still alive and kicking though!

Here's one project by Google that I thought you guys might be interested in. It's called, "Find Your Precinct" and allows Filipinos to find and map their precincts via Google Map Maker. My good friend, Google engineer Dan Delima, devoted his 20% time for this project (woohoo!!!).

Please help map precincts! To do this just go to http://www.google.com.ph/intl/en/landing/elections2010/. If you have a group that you can bring together for a mapping party please let me know.
