The wonder of Google Mashups

The wonder of Google Mashups

We’ve already bogged about the recent integration of Google Earth into Google Maps. But we’re particularly excited that it has allowed a whole new world of mash-up goodness to become available.

Delving into the bag of goodies that is Google’s services, amazing and usable things can be made to make your life easier.

Whilst you still need to download a plug-in to take advantage of this feature, we are taking a step closer to a native 3D browser experience.

It makes our creative workshops more interesting as we start kicking around ideas for the next project. It’s becoming much cheaper  to bring application functionality to common web sites, and technologies like Google’s allow for a broader canvas of solutions that engage users – particularly in Social Media.

See physically where your Facebook comments are coming from, show customers where your to locally purchase your product, allow a preview of a customer’s holiday tour.

More useful stuff, more easily.
