Mashing it up!

Check out http://www.frappr.com. It's a mash-up between Google Maps and social networking services like MySpace. You can form friends groups, and map where all your friends are. For someone like me who lives somewhere other than his home country, it's good to be abler to keep track of people all across the world.

Google Maps seems to be the product of choice for map mashups. I play a browser-based game called http://www.cybernations.net and it uses Google Maps to track its players and see who controls what bit of the world.

I wonder why this took off instead of Microsoft?
