Apparently the author of the program named “Creepy” does based on his name for the app that generated the picture above. Personally, I find it pretty cool that I can map out all the places from which I’ve shared information on twitter. If you’ve attended my Mapping Mashups in

The original example was based on the SharePoint Designer Team Blog post, How to Integrate Virtual Earth Maps with a SharePoint List, from almost 2 years ago. Greg Chan’s original post is still great, and I recommend you give a read to see how he did the magic. However, there is at least one
