Spotted.at
The idea for Spotted.at began with Axl Rose. Axl hasn’t really been seen for a decade and a half, so when he started popping up at restaurants and clubs, I thought it was a good excuse to learn the Google Maps API and create my first mashup. The site was finished in one night.
The next day, Mike Effle suggested that I switch from just Axl Rose to all celebrities. I went on and on explaining how only Axl sightings are interesting, but came to realize that there isn’t a place online where interesting celebrity sightings and fan encounters can be catalogued by those who had the experience. So, a few weeks later, Mike Markley and I finished Spotted.at.
