PolicyMap Widget Available
Remember PolicyMap, that cool site (powered by Placebase's PushPin, now apparently owned by Apple) that offered up simple to make interactive maps to help in policy decisions? Now there's an embeddable widget to put those maps on your website. Alas: "Up to 3 widgets at a time can be available for free to Premium subscribers and at an additional $500 per year to annual Standard [free] subscribers. Widgets are available to non-subscribers for $1,000 per year."
This new offering -- The PolicyMap Widget -- is a customizable instance of PolicyMap that displays interactive maps on your website in just a few, simple steps. Like PolicyMap, the widgets can display data at a variety of geographies -- from an address to a block group, zip code or congressional district. PolicyMap widgets are fully interactive -- giving both the visualization of a thematic or heat map.

Ok, so that gave me a chance to see if the site is still using the Placebase code. A blog post from Oct 2 makes clear that Apple didn't acquire PolicyMap and confirms the team at The Reinvestment Fund (that runs PolicyMap) has all the tech it needs to keep the site up and growing. The tech looks and acts the same to me.
