GEO 2.0 - Update

Map mash-ups are among the most visible & comprehensible phenomena in Web 2.0. There must now be thousands more than the accidental selection in the list below. There are only a few samples of web sites striving to go beyond the mere fun of it. I expect much more business cases to evolve around it once the telcos and cell phone manufacturers start offering standardized location based services. You'll find more samples of geo-based concepts in some of the other categories, and some more indices in ABOUT 2.0.
