I’m getting a real kick out of the widgets that have been released for Google Maps, one of them lets me find cheap gas prices, find real estate in my area (the most common mashup), show where I’ve been with Platial.com (lack of city data), and best of all draw and label the maps.
I made this map quickly, of all the places I know that Asian people live, I’m calling it “I see Asian People”. I’d love for this to become dynamic and show users faces, how cool would that be, there is so much opportunity here.

The big question is, where’s Yahoo and MSN’s maps? I know Yahoo has a map developer program, but are they producing this level of a platform?
