By google maps, Web 2.0

With the slew of new and emerging Web 2.0 services come new and innovative names that begin to slip into general consciousness. A few weeks ago we started hearing the term Wikitecture of which more on that soon and now its WikiMapia.

While WikiMapia has been around for a while with over 4 million places layered onto Google Maps it is interesting in terms of the time required for Web 2.0 services to enter general conversation – at least in the social circles we mix in…

WikiMapia is a great concept and one that further enhances the use of Google Maps, it is also a prime example of the new Network Link feature just released by Google.

SketchUp to 3D Max to Real Life

By SketchUp


Craig D’Andrea, SketchUp Quality Assurance Tester and poster over at the Official SketchUp Blog has noted some amazing work by Andrija Posarić a SketchUp user from Zagreb.

In short Andrija had 3 days to go from a blueprint of a building to a 3d model which in turn was to be printed on 30 x 10 meters banner to be draped onto the real world building.

The results are impressive and go a longway to show how software such as SketchUp has speeded up the 3d model building process.
