This article has been given a more permanent home on my blog. Also, since it was first written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.
Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:
getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {

This is a demonstration of how to create a combination town/county map from a shapefile using TopoJSON and d3.js.
It includes a simplified version of the code used for the Massachusetts special Senate election results on The Huffington Post.
Download a shapefile of Massachusetts towns from the state's GIS site:
