For those who loves Yahoo! Maps Web Service.

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2005

MapBuilder.net has a little hack which allows you to see users map via Yahoo! Maps Web Service.
How to check this? Just open any existing map through Booming Maps page (for example this Arizona Golf Courses map) and click on the ” View Map using Yahoo! Maps Web Service ” link.

Google AdSense

Обкатав я Google AdSense на abidcom.com і остаточно вирішив рекламні блоки тут не використовувати, навіть при всій повазі до Гуглаю Чому? Гугл виявився занадто smart, і використовуючи аналіз контенту він почав видавати заголовок на рекламному блоці “Реклама от Гугл” замість “Ads by Goooooogle”. Повбивав би!

Sign Up/In Required

Monday, August 1st, 2005

Due to recent requests when MapBuilder anonymous (not registered) users close browser window and lost all locations I decided to force users to Sign In or Sign Up before previewing map or source code. This will allow you to SAVE your locations. Is this annoying? Let me know.
