Update: Platial Offers New Mashup Tool: MapKit

Update 11/7: The map is working! Our blog software was misbehaving, but our webmaster Alexander set it straight!

Original post follows.
---

This was the e-mail from my colleague Joe today:


Adena, you may want to blog this and demonstrate the application since it looks fairly simple.


He was talking about Platial's new "put an interactive map on your website/blog in two minutes" tool called MapKit. Per Platial, "this is the first time anyone can add places and make maps remotely." And, yes, it's really simple. Fill out a form at the MapKit site, copy the resulting code and you have, if all goes well, a map on your site to which others can add!

Here's the press release.

Here's our map:

Thanks Adena. Just added us to your map. (Wasn't sure what you wanted to map.)

Hi Adena, it seems that the blog is adding "br" tags to the code, we are experimenting with a really long 'one line' solution for blogs, perhaps with some other escaping ampersand fixes as well. I'd be glad to let you know as soon as it's stable.

Ok, with some help from our webmaster (thanks Alexander!) I took out the br's and the code is communicating with Platial. Still, no map, but we are closer!

Should APB cover "geo news" from corporate blogs, such as Microsoft's new Food Truck Map?
Yes, that's important to me and I would not find it elsewhere.
No, don't bother. It's not that important and besides, every one else covers it.
Google and Microsoft do geospatial?
