Danny Ayers, Raw Blog – I suppose posting this here isn’t likely to be much help, but thought I’d point out that Danny is looking for a job. Worth hiring.

Google Maps API

Posted on June 29, 2005 by mfagan

Google Maps API – finally, and thank goodness. I haven’t looked at the API yet, hopefully it still leaves a place for Mikel’s fantastic worldKit. Via Google Blog.

Update later June 29: also today, the Yahoo! Maps Web Service. All because it’s the beginning of the Where 2.0 conference. I’m still not sure how I feel about the industry practice of launching things to coincide with conferences…

quadspot � waterloo

Posted on June 10, 2005 by mfagan

quadspot � waterloo – looks like there’s now a craigslist clone for my university. finally, this is basically what I’ve been wanting and hoping someone would do.

the website seems to have a ton of school sites, but it all appears to be new. no about page, and I don’t immediately see other websites mentioning it. interesting. via uw.forsale, presumably posted by someone associated with it

all categories have rss feeds, but not search results

Update June 13: SLC comments on this too. And wonderfully, the creator comments on this post and adds feeds for search results 🙂
