from using google to using this:

http://local.live.com/

its way better in every way.. i dunno if you can use it the same way as google with the locations of each member though.

actually i take that back, ZBR can waste a couple weeks trying to figure out the coding to make it work

so if we bug him about it, maybe he'll do it

or he'll begin posting naked men in every thread, pissed off

any other ideas?

99.9% sure that just like Google, this one uses AJAX. And yeah, the naked thing will probably happen.

figured, but then again it's microsoft so they would find out where you live and begin testing your windows installation authenticity everynight...

plus the naked thing will probably happen

yeah, that's why I'm almost positive it's AJAX, cause Microsoft has been pushing that hard lately. Plus didn't somebody post that windows live thing a while back (old boards)? The whole point of the site is to show the powers of AJAX.

The naked thing may happen anyway.

yea. you can look at it from the north south east and west direction as well.. i can pretty much see which beach has the biggest swells with this map rather than google.. its just way better.

But, not everywhere has that Bird's Eye View thing. And, the places that don't have it, have some crappy black and white satellite view. But, Virginia Beach ahs Bird's Eye and it's sick :).
