Quikmaps by Josh Rubin
Quikmaps is another installation in the ever-growing collection of Google Maps mash-ups. Handy for scribbling a quick overlay of information, Quikmaps lets you save, email and post your creation. In addition to being highly useful it's open ended so creative-types with a map fetish can draw till their heart's content. If you're so inclined, make some map art and send it to us at mapart [at] coolhunting [dot] com and we'll post our favorites tomorrow.

Google Maps Meets Craigslist
In my mind this little utility is simply just a genius mix. The cross pollination of two of the best resources available on the internet-- Google's new mapping service, and the classified listings page, Craigslist. This utility lets you surf both at once-- you can select city, price range, and drag along a map while seeing icons representing apartments for rent or sale. It...

ThisNext: ThisWorld Map
A fun new ThisNext feature, ThisWorld uses Google Maps to create a live update of who's checking out what online worldwide. It's strangely entertaining to just sit back and watch products pop up—from an Irving, TX user looking at Puma's new Urban Mobility collection to someone in Spain checking out a gun-shaped hair dryer—like you're spying on the world. Geographical trends quickly become apparent...

Scroogle Search Engine
Did you know that every Google search you make is recorded and archived by the company? Privacy-minded folks point out that as Google has become part of our everyday lives, our tastes and preferences on the net give away a lot more than we'd normally share with a stranger, let alone a corporation with nearly 14,000 employees worldwide. While Google keeps your search terms...

Blackle
Stop using Google and start using Blackle. Based on the idea that a black screen uses less energy than a white one, it will also act as a reminder to keep taking small steps towards saving energy every time you search in black. Hopefully you've already heard about it and are using it, but we found it worthwhile enough to spread the word some...

OnNYTurf Subway Map
The most frustrating aspect of most New York City Subway Maps is that they only show the subway lines, neglecting all but major streets. You might know where get off but then you have no idea how to get to your final destination. Alleviating the problem, OnNYTurf simply overlays the subway map on a google-style map (click on image for enlarged view). Google also...

Maps of War
Sail through 5,000 years of middle east political history in 90 seconds with easily digestible animated maps. Maps of War, albeit on the reductive side, provides an informative pictorial narrative surrounding the history of conflict in the Middle East....
