Microsoft Virtual Earth is lame

compared to Google Maps (with satellite imagery) Microsoft’s MSN Virtual Earth >> http://virtualearth.msn.com/ is pretty much WEAK.

but hey… give M$ time… they got cash and always like to be second with an idea but first in the marketplace.

supposedly Yahoo! is going to release a similar product too. i’m sure that won’t be covered up in banner ads << sarcasm.

    Yep, ditto here. Pretty lame. The sattelite images are horrible, at least for my area, compared to g’s.

    Oh, and thanks for pointing out that sarcasm. Almost missed it <

    Sorry for the near duplicate post, but I got a bunch of MySQL/PHP errors when I submitted. Got it on both posts, but I guess it still submitted my post.

    casey… no prob… thanks for mentioning the errors.. i wonder what that was about.

    and yes when discussing Yahoo! don’t you almost always have to explicitly mention when you are using sarcasm and when you are not?? :D

    Ha, yeah, especially when mentioning Yahoo! and NOT having banner ads in the same sentence. :)
