Google Maps -- Interesting--I can't seem to insert a title for this blog entry, and I've been noticing that Blogger still has some defects here and there. Nonetheless, I did try experimenting with My Maps on Google, though it felt quite clunky to me. Using the illustration tools proved rather cumbersome at times, and as usual, one caveat is that you must have a Google account to access this Google tool--something that can get annoying at times much like so many other Web sites that require you to register before you can access their content.

The registration part is becoming a major annoyance. I find it interesting that Google supporters don't mind, however, while they cry foul if forced to register on other sites.

In fact, some people feel that Google's services are so valuable and convenient that they willingly structure their lives around Google tools, aware that Google is data-mining their personal lives. What's amazing is that they are willing to do this with Google.

If it was some other company (Microsoft, anyone?) they would have protested in the streets.
