  1. Hey man, I noticed you’re the top blog of the day, congrats on that. You know, I’m trying to get a little traffic myself. I was wondering if you could give me a little help by just posting something simple telling others about my blog (paperclip2house.wordpress.com). Thanks for your time.

  2. Interesting. We’ve been working on the same kind of thing for Google Maps. It’s fun to see Microsoft Research spending time on a similar project. We even did some of the same campuses (UCLA, UW, UCSB). They’re missing Stanford though (http://www.stanford.edu/hpcgi/map/index.pl) ;)

  3. Hi Robert

    I thought you would not like to any Microsoft product that did not work with Firefox. Well in the help notes it states clearly that MapCruncher does not work with Firefox. Also I just don’t get the product. I would much prefer the overlay objects to be XHTML microformat coed or widgets os that they can bel linked or mashed up. The .yum files created by Mapcruncher don’t connect to anything I know. Also shouldn’t the product be called Mapcrunchr to be seriously web 2.0 ;-)
