Someone made a Google map of Occupy protests worldwide. Its been criticized for being America/Eurocentric but its still interesting and could provide a good resource.

I'm curious about Chile since I'm pretty sure they preceded us by months but they've had people working with the european movement (which also precedes occupy in large parts of Europe).

There is a thread on this on the Yahoo leftist trainspotters group. Its against the rules of trainspotters to crosspost or link. As I understand the Chilean student movement started earlier, as did the Indignados movement in Spain, which was one of the main inspirations for #Occupy and of course by the Madison protest and before that Tahrir Square. The Spanish movement appears to have been reignited by #Occupy..

That map is pretty spotty. There's no marker for Oakland, SF, Santa Rosa, etc... and there's plenty of smaller occupy protests currently underway which aren't represented either.
None-the-less, it's a cool idea and a great visual support.
