The Shift from Making Mashups to Tools for Mashups
I’m starting to see the subtle switch from hype about map mashups to hype about tools to allow us regular folks to make mashups and custom maps. MapCruncher, a tool to make the creation of Virtual Earth-based maps simpler, is a hot topic on blogs. Today I ran into PininthetheMap, (press release) a simple tool to populate a Google Map wtih points. You then send the URL of the pin to friends. (Here’s a sample in Google Maps and Google Earth.) The buzz on GeoRSS is adding to the fire. We are now in phase two of the new world of maps.
