It's all about location, location, location these days whether it's Google Earth Outreach for Nonprofits, Flickr's new mapping function and Places Pages, Placeblogging or NiJel:

At NiJeL, we create maps that tell powerful stories and have real community impact. Across the globe, NiJeL uses high performance mapping to identify and mitigate social, economic, and environmental problems in poor communities now so they don't become humanitarian disasters later. We think our maps can be potent decision-making tools that can, among other things, help communities advocate for better living conditions. So, if you're working to make the world a better place, we're looking to help you tell your story though maps.

They offer high performance mapping, training and participatory mapping.

NiJeL was a presenter at the Phoenix NetSquared Meetup this month and will be speaking at NPower Arizona's Tech Tuesday on October 23rd.

NiJel was also one of the 150+ projects nominated to attend the NetSquared Conference in May 2007. You can read  NiJeL's proposal, along with other proposals, in the N2Y2 Project Proposals.
