My impression of this site is "Data 2.0." I like that the data is organized by category, you can upload and download data, and it has graphing capabilities. It could be a little stronger on the mapping aspects, but if you find the data you are looking for here then it is worth it. Also, there may be social aspects to this site that I have not explored yet. Similar to the geocommons finder without the mapping component.

Where I look for mortgage related data.

Great source for mortgage related data and maps...extensive.

This NYTimes map allows you to explore immigration in the United States over time. It also allows you to choose a country and view data relating to that countries immigrants in the United States.

This webpage is from the folks behind geocommons finder and maker. I like this economy dashboard because it is simple and it appears to have up-to-date information (as of March 2009). The other nice aspect about geocommons in general is the access to the tabular data, and also to shapefile format for use in GIS.

This web mapping site allows you to view the foreign languages spoken in all 50 states based on Census data, viewable by total, percentage, or zip code.

Here is a link to the chapter in the 2009 Horizon report about Geolocation. They predict that in 2-3 years this will be fully mature. "Applications for research and learning that are quick and inexpensive but still very effective are beginning to emerge as the difficulty of capturing and using geolocative data decreases."

Great interface that allows you to quickly save thumbnail images of your maps to put in an animation...great web map design.

Great source for historic census and religion data that you can view over time and create time-based animations.

Do you have the specific link to mapping of religions?
