Are you a map hacker? Well, recently we invited some of the best map hackers onto campus to show us how it's done. Think you could do an even better hack? Then enter the Virtual Earth competition and you could win $1,000. Oh, and watch Chandu Thota's blog next week. He has some news about Virtual Earth coming (he works on the Virtual Earth team).

Very cool.  The contest looks interesting.

Also, you can find some info about the polymap here:

There are lots of neat add-ins/hacks to be found here:

Definitely check out these groups more often.  There's some great progress happening on this.

Everything in this world is in jest
Well, I'm here too Big Smile, but could not sneak in to the Convention Center to use the network [C], so I am up a few blocks at the Starbucks Expressionless.

because I got stuff to say
love the creative swiping acknowledgements and also looking forward to seeing how this continues to get easier for the average joe - not only for personal blogging, but also for business app's needs to get easier and have that great cost point (read: $zero)

it still looks like the stuff that I want to do takes a small team to get it done and a bit more than my skill set has (right now) - but the efforts to make it easier is awesome

keep up the good work!

We've created a redesign of the Virtual Earth site that we're calling "Atlas".

We think it's the cleanest, most drop-dead simple, web-based mapping and searching tool to date.  For us it's a starting point where we'll begin adding mashups and have plans for several new features in the future.

Atlas is freely available at: http://atlas.freshlogicstudios.com/
