I came across this pretty cool mashup spotcrime to view criminal activity in your neighbourhood/city. Out of sheer curiousity, I ran a comparison between Tucson,AZ and Urbana, IL

 http://www.spotcrime.com/az/tucson

Vs,

 http://www.spotcrime.com/il/urbana

I recently moved to Urbana, IL.Am I glad I moved or what?

Even though this website seems to be strictly made for adwords (MFA). I can see an oppurtunity for a nice commercial application that caters to home buyers. For example, an application that allows you to merge the spot crime mashup with mashups for average house prices or various school districts.

I really like mashups. I see an oppurtunity for a “mix and match” mashup tool that allows you to combine various mashups to allow datamining for your personal use.
