What you are looking at is a new ChipIn mapping feature that that mashes google maps with GEO-IP tracking of contributions. The map above gives you a geographic representation of the donors to my first personal fundraising campaign on behalf of Leng Sopharath. It works in real-time as donations come in. You can see a sample of the 8wishes.com contribution map.
Another feature that is in development or rather closed beta and will certainly come in handy, is the ChipIn widget email signature. It will be a dynamic image of the widget - so it can show your campaign total in real time.
This is a really cool feature to drop on a website. I'd love to see this spur friendly competition across communities in a given region.
