Recently, a client approached us to create functionality for their Drupal site similar to what Zappos.com does, but based on user activity of the site. The idea is that we would present the user a map, and plot the latest user activity update as a point on the map using geocoded data based on IP address. Then, after a certain interval of time, we make an ajax call to the server to see if there has been any new activity updates in this interval. Kind of like a Facebook wall meets maps. Sounds easy enough, right?
