Playing around with LinkedIN Maps
Quite nice to see a visual thread of your connections in LinkedIN.
Set-up time, seconds. Play-time, minutes. Long-term value, pretty low.

So this is where I hang-out…
A pretty neat heat-map of my last 100 check-ins on Foursquare mashed-up onto a Google Map. Of course I didn’t need a GPS, smartphone, 4SQ, Google Maps and http://www.wheredoyougo.net/ to tell me this, as I have a pretty good memory, but it’s cool to know never-the-less!
Gooooooogle …. Goooooal!!
I just did a search for “worldcup” on Google to check out the coverage. Besides the 98 million search results, there’s also a simple schedule matches that they show right up top in the results - and that’s not all - when I scrolled to the bottom to go to page two, I spotted the usual Gooooooooogle had been discretely changed.
Seems even Google is really getting into the “gees”. Launching Street View in Google Maps for South Africa (just in time) and also 3D models of the stadiums in Google Earth and a load of other initiatives. Nice.
Fun things to do with Google Maps
