Futuresonic 2007 Google Map
Thought I'd have a quick try at using Google's new My Maps feature, a much simplified way of creating your own google maps. I've created this map of Futuresonic 2007 venues. It's the venues only pinpointed onto a map, there's no attempt to provide any listings with it.
It was pretty easy to create (although it seemed to forget half the information I'd inputted at one point) and with a little more time adding the listings information and hyperlinks wouldn't have been difficult.
Searching for the venues themselves it was interesting how few have them had registered their location with Google. This is straightforward and free to do (there's a link to 'add my business information' on Google Maps) and as map links are shown above normal results it's an easy way to get to the top of search engine results pages.
