Suggestions for AOL's New "Where it's At" Site

WhereItsAt.Com is a mapping site that pinpoints pop culture locations - like the hospital from Gray's Anatomy or the high school from Napoleon Dynomite. The tag is "Pop culture is all around you." It's powered by MapQuest.

Suggestions:

- The title suggests to me a "things to do" site, despite the tag line. That said, there is a box to search for nightlife... That's confusing!
- The site offers an RSS feed. Why not a GeoRSS feed or KML or anything with location in it?
- Rethink the Visa sponsorship ads - one is a "roll over to find your nearest Starbucks ad" powered by Google Maps!

What's your feeling about commercial organizations that participate in kind or cash support to help in disasters and publicize those efforts?
No issues; it's good for the planet and good business.
It's ok, but does make me wonder about their motives.
It's pure marketing, and bothers me.
Have no strong feeling.
