Mashable reports that Google Maps features a new API that has flash graphics that can be used for each title layer, maker and information windows. This means you can create more dynamic map mashups.

Not only does Google Maps have flash graphics, but they have also added the ability for video sharing, Wikipedia entries, real estate listings, and geo-coded photos.

Google Earth and David Rumsey have formed a relationship where historical map collections are available through a Google Earth layer. More data means more mashups!

Interesting how Where 2.0 has a Twitter account that wasn’t followed nearly as much as it should have been.

All Points Blog also provides a “plain-English” explanation of the Google / ESRI announcement.
