Create an Olympics Medal Map using Google Spreadsheets

This is a very detailed "How-to" blog post which takes the reader step-by-step through the creation of a "HeatMap". This is the sort of visual presentation that shows "heat" (color intesity) using some data points connected to physical locations - like countries, in this case - as the source. The post describes taking data from the web, putting the data into a useful form and then creating the map using spreadsheet gadgets. Very well done - except that the author did not provide a link to the underlying spreadsheet example for readers to use as a starting point.

Coin Collecting and Trading

Geo-aware coin collectors commonly post their "trading lists" on the GeoCaching.com user forums (known as GroundSpeak). One user thouht it would be helpful to collect all these trading list URLs into a well organized spreadsheet. That spreadsheet is now like a navigation page to all the trading lists posted by users.
