Attention Whoring

When it comes to the online world I'm pretty much an attention whore. I love seeing my articles and web apps referenced on other blogs, so this past week has been pretty sweet.

I'm most proud of this, the Google Mashup Editor people seem to like what I've done with their (excellent) product, 'cause they got me to write a guest post on their official blog (sweet!). Probably not my best piece of writing, but it's my first on an official Google blog so I'm well chuffed with that.

Related to that, my Earthquake mashup has been getting a lot of press, notably from Google Maps Mania and The Google Mashup blog itself.

The WA Petrol Price mashup's been pretty well received too. I got a nice email from one of the guys who worked on the original FuelWatch site and the mashup got a mention in the Tech section of the Melbourne Age.

Just to round things off I did a little guest post on Google Blogoscoped about the new 'embeddable maps' feature in Google Maps.
