Yahoo Maps + Cocomo = The Funness
I admit it, I'm a sucker for maps. I'm the kind of person who can stare at a map forever. So, when I spotted Ted's post on the new Yahoo Maps AS3 component release, I kinda freaked out a little. Then, I got to work. About 10 hours later, we have real-time shared maps, with co-navigation, shared cursors, and annotation overlays supplied by the mighty Cocomo components.
There are a couple of issues left to fix, and a thousand ideas on how I could make this cooler, but my demo-coding-time runneth short right now. Also, note I'm only allowed 50000 tile-hits a day, so if tons of people show, it might die an unseemly death.
Let me know what you think :) I've got some more demos in the oven, stay tuned!
