Technical notes

Streetview imagery update today for Mexico: Mexico City, Monterrey, Cancun, and a few other cities (you might remember this). There's also a new player in streetview called Mapplo. It wants to be pre-eminent in Latin America, and its preview shows a few areas of Buenos Aires; the trouble is, they're using their own algorithims rather than borrowing Google or Mapjack, and I found the preview to be slow and rather buggy.

Some improvements to Google Translate detailed here.

Google Labs is previewing Google Swirl, which is a mashup of their Similar Image search and their Wonder Wheel. Only a limited number of search terms are available in the preview, but oddly Prague map is there. The nodes are centered around image themes; click on a node and the wheel pops up. Not sure how useful it is to our purposes, but it's interesting to play with.

Oh wow!! It makes me dizzy but I LOVE it!!
