Have you ever wanted to meet someone for coffee/food/whatever but found yourself at a loss for a place to meet that was somewhere between the two of you? It might be that you want to meet someone in your same town/city… or the person might be many miles away.
Well, by way of a Twitter message from Donna Papacosta, I learned today of site called a.placebetween.us, that does exactly that. I have to say this is one of the coolest Google Maps-mashups I’ve seen to date. (Well, okay, Twittervision is definitely cool, too.) In the field in the upper right, you enter first one address , press Add, and then the second and press Add. Then you say the type of meeting you want (“coffee”, “food”, etc.) and then you click “What’s Between”… ta da!
Very fun – and useful – mashup!
I remember some guy on a recent ‘blog post somewhere wearily observing that “99% of all mashups use Google Maps!”
He sez it like it’s a bad thing!
Makes you wonder how much more powerful this service will become as more & more services providers get on-line with feeds, and people start using the likes of Yahoo! Pipes…
