Google's At It Again

Google must be doing something right in their hiring practices. 'Cause they are churning out great things at a steady clip.

The latest Googl-ism to catch the attention of the myriad of web-geeks (myself included) is the slick Google Maps. Other than having a very cool interface for scrolling/zooming the map, it also challenges Mapquest & Yahoo maps:

You can find a place like Portland, OR

You can get directions to New Brunswick, NJ

you can also do a search for things in a specific area:

Skiing in San Diego
Surfing in Suffern

But I mean, regardless of the utility of the thing, it's amazing they can do what they do. No constantly reloading the page. A quick and responsive interface. I don't know if it works on other browsers. It works on mine just fine.
