Windows LIVE Local Beta

May 19th, 2006

Just got around checking out the Beta Version of Windows Live Local . A neat tool! Got around checking out the properties of Beverly Hills mansion of Mary Pickford, Lincoln’s cottage, George Washington’s last home and the house where famous gangster Bugsy Siegel was gunned down by the mob in 1947! Cool, man! :-)

Windows Live Local powered by Virtual Earth combines mapping and local search to put the answers to your search questions in a geographical context. This site was created with Microsoft Virtual Earth, a set of services for building intelligent Web applications that enable businesses to better serve you with locally relevant information. You can use Virtual Earth and other Microsoft MapPoint technologies in your own projects.

What say, you guys? Is it gonna catch up with the God that Google Earth is?

Well, I think it’d at least bust Google’s monopoly in the domain. Anyway, an interesting tool by Microsoft.
