China: Mapbar and IDOIDO Social GIS
This is really cool if you are into Geographical Information Systems.
Mapbar (China’s largest online mapping service) has teamed up with IDOIDO (Marriage website) to create a social mapping service for those lucky couples about to tie the knot. You just click on the IDO Map and you can run searches for: landmarks, train stations, scenic spots, public parks, educational institutes (what?), municipal agencies, and route info.
Not layered information like a true GIS project but getting there. Here is a query from the IDOIDO website on Nuclear Power that shows the Beijing Nuclear Power Ltd Co.:
IDODO Internet Bars
IDOIDO Hacker Restaurant (What?)
Sadly, the search for military only returned the location for the military museum.
