Google Maps Mashup

The Web Services team has just released another product that will make your website more interesting, more useful and therefore more profitable.  And on top of that, it’s also very, very cool!

What is this amazing product?  A Google Maps “mashup” that allows you to enter points on Google’s state-of-the-art map program and then display them on your website.  So, let’s say you’re a realtor… wouldn’t you like to have a map with points marking each of the properties you have for sale? 

You can even enter in descriptions that pop up when users click on the pointer for that address.  And this being Google Maps, you can view it as either a regular street map, a satellite view or a hybrid of the two!

The uses for Google Maps Mashup is only limited by your imagination.  To see it in action, click here -- http://demo.goetc.net/googlemaps/mapfinder.php.

Local Free Classifieds...

Iliamo.com, the “Tri-State's Online Marketplace,” offers free classifieds to individuals and free help wanted ads to businesses.  And that's just the beginning…

“We want our site to be a place to sell your couch, car or house, and even more” said Eric Thomas of ETC Computer Solutions, operators of the website.  “We want Iliamo.com to be an online destination for the Tri-States, to be a true marketplace where buyers and sellers of all kinds connect.”

To that end, ETC has created a searchable database of local businesses, developed free classifieds software to make posting and viewing classified ads easy, and customized a bulletin board for clubs and other non-profits to post news about themselves. Together with an events calendar and other features, Iliamo.com (which stands for
IL linois – I ow A – M iss O uri) is fast becoming the marketplace it wants to be.
