Google Christmas Map 2007

As the official Google Blog reported, The Google Blog team created a map for users to customize and jointly create holiday greetings. I have made my mark... loud and clear :)

All my Google Maps in one place. Handy!

My main map gets 1,141 views?! I guess people *really* like my address :)

TinyMap.net = Google Maps + TinyURL

I was doing some research on maps mashups recently and I found this little gem called TinyMap.net which can best be described as a marriage of the awesome tools utilized in Google Maps: My Maps and the ingenious everyday Web tool Tiny URL which transforms long URLs into short byte chunks.

As according to the official step-by-step tutorial, Tinymap.net allows the user to create maps, trace way-points, mark out points of interests with graphic icons and add notes on the Google map.

Content creation is surprising easy, and I created my custom map in record time, much quicker than using Google's native UI.

One thing I really like about the Tinymap is the ability to create password-protected maps, which allows you to share your map with others without sharing with everyone on the Web. Unless I have mistaken, The My Maps feature on Google Maps can only create private maps that are viewable by one person.

When you save your map, the site returns a short URL for you to send to your friends:

Highly useful. Highly recommended!
