Mapplr: No Maps

There are slews of new press releases about new map-based websites. Most are "just another" map of hotels or homes for sale. I like the name PR describes the site as: "Mapplr (www.mapplr.com) is a publisher of hip and stylish hotels, restaurants, and cafes worldwide."

The most interesting thing: no maps. Yes there are lists of favorite hotels including pictures and links, but no maps. I guess they missed the trend of maps being a requirement for such sites.

China ( with the exception of hong kong) does not support google maps, so while the maps are important, getting the best content to the users is even more so. Hopefully maps will me available soon.
