The spill was much larger than you probably imagine. http://paulrademacher.com/oilspill I was a Googler from 2005 to 2010. I started the Google Earth Browser Plugin, to embed the full power of Google Earth into any webpage, and later was Engineering Manager for the Google Maps frontend (the javascript client), focusing on features, site performance, and mobile. In 2005, while still at Dreamworks, I reverse-engineered the javascript for an amazing new website called Google Maps. I then scraped Craigslist housing listings across the country, and overlaid them on top of my commandeered map. The result was HousingMaps, the first-ever map mashup.
