Virtual Earth
I suppose this will join the list of “every man and his dog” blogging about MSN Virtual Earth, but this Channel 9 video really impressed me. How the @#&%! did they get that smooth and responsive zooming and panning working in a pure browser model. Talked about mixed signals on the smart client versus browser implementation model. Its a tough decision for lots of potential applications. Can’t wait to try virtual earth out myself on a typical broadband web connection (as opposed to the demo video presumably using the high speed Microsoft network).
