How to Get on Google Maps
Now I know this isn’t directly related to web 2.0 but after reading this article I knew I had to mention it.
Downunder, here in Australia and number of dotcoms have turned out creating large signs in an attempt to be on Google Maps. This is the first time that the public has been aware of such an exercise (A Google plane flying at 600m).
