New Yahoo! Maps based on Flex
Nov. 5th, 2005 | 01:22 am
This is why I don't like to go on vacation: invariably you end up missing something. While I was away, Yahoo launched the beta version of its new Maps service. Now what's really special about it is that the UI is built entirely using Flex 1.5. ;) Does anyone remember my Flex front-end to Google Maps back in April? Well, it's sort of where it started =)
See it. Play with it. Tell 'em what you think. If you're a developer, you can build your own applications too! Check out the Flickr Maps sample, for instance, which is based on Flex again.
So what are people saying? Maps is a hot topic.

The IE team posts a picture of their Hyderabad-based engineering team, to which somebody responds with a taunt about outsourcing.
I like Bruce Morgan's explanation of how things really work.
