              Extension to Google Maps vs. MSN Virtual Earth | Understanding WebServices.com / mapping Community Wiki now live [via a post to my O'Reilly blog]

            • Extension to Google Maps vs. MSN Virtual Earth | UnderstandingWebServices.com/mapping Community Wiki now live

              From my most recent post to my O'Reilly blog:

              As mentioned in the intro, I have taken a few moments to set-up a communtiy wiki such that we can begin to work together to develop a one of a kind resource regarding web service-based mapping technologies such as Google Maps, MSN Virtual Earth, and Yahoo! Maps.

              Located at http://www.UnderstandingWebServices.com/mapping/wiki/ the first paragraph reads:


              Welcome! Please excuse the obvious abuse of using a pre-existing image as a place holder until such time as I have a moment to create one more specific to this site, UnderstandingWebServices.com with a focus on "Mapping" technologies. Until just a few minutes ago it hadn't occured to me to crack open one of the Understanding*.com sites I own and begin to make use of them from a community perspective. This seemed to be the best choice to host this topic, so I've quickly set this up such that we can work together as a community to start development of interesting content, pointers to cool mapping projects, code samples, etc...

              If a community-based effort to Understand Web Services, in particular mapping-based WS's sounds like your cup-of-tea, please come join in the fun :)

              Enjoy!
