Google Maps and XSL
03/14/2005 05:27 PMI'll probably write more on this later, but it seems that
Google Maps is using XSL. I spotted it
loading the following pages while sniffing its activity with LiveHTTPHeaders:
This is in addition to the (now expected) XMLHttpRequest
stuff. There even appears to be some of Microsoft's weird VML, although
as I'm on a Mac I don't have access to IE/Windows to see what it's doing with it.
The bulk of the Google Maps JavaScript appears to be
hidden away in maps.1.js, which
becomes a lot more readable if you feed it through PrettyPrinter.de
As for Google Maps itself, it's an amazing piece of work
but it's a shame they didn't follow map.search.ch's lead in degrading
gracefully to a static version for unsupported browsers.
If anyone has any further insights in to how it all works,
please post them in a comment.

Maps on the other hand I could learn to like - they're nice and
straight forward and solve the very real problem of planning how
different parts of a web application will link to each other.

03/14/2005 05:53 PMGoogle Maps Features include (according to Google): Easy navigation--
Users can drag the map to view the adjacent parts of a map. Search
results from Google Local-- To find a wifi hot spot in a local area,
users may type [wifi hot spot] and their local zip code to see wifi
locations on the map. They will see phone numbers for each location
appearing on the right side of the page. When users click on locations
on the map, they will also find address information. Single search
box-- Users can type search terms into a single search box under the
Maps tab for local search results and driving directions. For example,
typing [great sushi in New York] will display great sushi restaurants
located in New York. Typing [Manhattan to Brooklyn] shows directions
from Manhattan to Brooklyn. Turn-by-turn directions-- Users may type
in an address and Google Maps plots a route, displaying it visually on
the map itself, together with step-by-step directions for getting
there (or back from there). When users click on one of these steps,
they will see a magnified view of the area mentioned in the
directions. Keyboard shortcuts-- Users can use the arrow keys to pan
left, right, up and down; pan wider with page up, page down, home and
end keys; and zoom in and out with the (+) and (-) keys....

Google Maps Updated
06/24/2005 07:22 PMAccording to Google Sightseeing, Google
Maps has made some significant improvements.
Today Google quietly updated its map service to add high-resolution
aerial photography for much more of the globe than the previous
limited coverage of North America. New additions include Scotland, Iceland, Kuwait and many, many more.
Cool! Now even more sights to see from a really-high bird's eye
view! If only I could quit my job and become a full-time Google Maps
tourist.

lived here when I first moved to San Francisco.

Something I never anticipated in a million years was finding out
that my good friend Kathryn Yu
recognized names and places in this shot, then over IM we realized we
attended the exact same elementary school (she, 8 years after me, and
it's just off to the right edge of the screenshot). Turns out that she
grew up less than a mile away from my house, and though I've known
Kathryn for 3 years, it never came up until today. Unbelievable.

ana.edu/fil/Web/In this project Filippo Menczer and
his researchers study the relationships between different types of Web
topology based for example on hyperlinks, words, and page meaning, and
how they affect the performance of ranking and crawling algorithms,
such as InfoSpiders. This research extends prior work in which they
characterized a necessary condition for effective autonomous browsing
of any distributed hypertext database such as the Web in terms of a
relevance autocorrelation measure. More recently they have used a
brute force approach to map the relationships between lexical,
linkage, and semantic similarity across billions of Web page pairs.
This research is being applied to build models that may help
understand how the scale-free distribution of Web links has emerged
and how it can be exploited for designing more effective Web crawlers
and search engines. This has been added to the articles section of
Deep Web Research Subject
Tracer™ Information Blog.
