Hi, I signed up a while ago, but I didn't really understand anything. I
have a basic question that maybe someone can help with. I'll like to
integrate yelp data -- http://www.programmableweb.com/api/yelp -- onto
google maps -- http://www.programmableweb.com/api/google-maps -- like how
http://www.trulia.com/real_estate/New_York-New_York has it under
"Amenities". But I want it on maps.google.com because I have no idea how to
put the map on a separate webpage.

I'll like to know if I need python for this :)
