Google city tours vs Routeyou

Google labs has come out with a tourist city planner . I was excied to chedch it out. Well this application for sure pales with the Ghent based routeyou one in terms of feasibility and export functions. Wondering how to create a g reat city architecture walk in Brussels of Benjamin de Lestré de Fabribeckers , my grand-grandfather and contemporary of Victor Horta.

Lost and found dogs/cats goes GEO2.0

When I started about a year ago to collect the posters on the street of lost and found dogs, and to point them on an online map, I was far from understanding that a truly GEO2.0 application was initiated.  Whilst first manually adding the different posters, the service of Google maps allows now to other to collaborate and for other to be a search scout and add their posters of lost dog/cats. View Larger Map The website is www.perdutrouve.be or www.verlorengevonden.be . Basically it allows anybody to be a local scouts: if a cat or dog is lost in your area, take a picture of the poster that people have distributed in their street;   add it on the map: GREEN for a found dog/cat; RED for a lost dog/cat.  Anybody can help.  Any suggestions for improvement welcome.
