Google Maps Walking Tour

Tim Bray posted a link to Udell’s Google Maps walking tour of Keene, NH, in case anyone (like me), hadn’t seen it. This is really very cool: it’s what happens when you allow others to co-design your service. I don’t know how many of the current MI students read my blog (I suspect very few), [...]
