reifman writes "Zillow quietly released boundary data for more than 7,000 neighborhoods in the U.S. via the Creative Commons attribute-sharealike license but few people know how to integrate this data into their applications. This tutorial describes how to import the data and integrate it with Google Maps and HTML5 Geolocation."

"but few people know how to integrate this data into their applications" they're *shapefiles* for crying out loud. You know, probably the single most widely used format for the exchange of static GIS data? Easily loaded into postgis or converted to whatever format you prefer? The only people who don't know how to integrate this data into their applications are people who have never looked into integrating any GIS data into their applications.
