Fun with Zip Codes and Google Maps

I’m such a blatant fan of Google - open API’s, leading the AJAX way, and 2.5GB of Gmail… I have my own email address, but Gmail’s just so cool I have to use it every now and then. Today I stumbled across this:

http://maps.huge.info/ -> Enter a zip code and it draws out the boundary!

Just think of all the innovation that has been spurred by Google opening up its maps API. Sure MSN will probably concede defeat and follow suit, but Google has the edge. It’s customer-driven innovation at its finest and one that will undoubtedly pay off for Google in the long run.

Open Business is the wave of the future.
