boingboing.net — Grad student Ethan Garner created CraigStatsSF, a site that slices, dices, and visualizes CraigsList San Francisco housing rental listings with Google Maps overlays. For example, this heat map shows a citywide view of rental costs for one bedroom apartments over the last year.

Why did he not link straight to it? Because he was afraid digg would explode his server....and it did.

You don't know boingboing. Go back to the site. It's got as much cred as digg.

My criticism of boingboing should not be construed as praise for Digg.

zillow.com has done this for a while. <a class="user" href="http://www.zillow.com/search/Search.htm?addrstrthood=&citystatezip=10002&GOButton=">http://www.zillow.com/search/Search.htm?addrstrthood=&citystatezip=10002&GOButton=</a>(check the Heat Map checkbox at top right)

I'll mostly agree with you on Boing Boing mstoneburner, but overlooking those unenjoyable bits, there are some real gems to be found. (As can be told by the ~100 bookmarks I have from boing boing so far)
