Mentioned on Mapperz - Mapping News Blog

Thanks to Mapperz for their article on the Baby Name Map highlighting the recent update and latest enhancements. Their suggestion to consider the Google Charts API for the charts showing name popularity is an interesting one. I've briefly looked at the Charts API before, but so far the Gruff library has worked well and tied in nicely with Ruby on Rails page caching strategies. I will have to take a deeper look at the Google API though in the future as it does look pretty good. My guess is that Google Charts also has a pretty decent caching strategy for their images. :)
