Google Maps has just launched a number of updates that make Street View much more prominent.

Now, whenever you’re viewing a map where there is Street View imagery available, you’ll be able to drag “Pegman” from the view slider to the street where you’d like to see a picture.

NASA has posted a series of photos of the Southern California wildfires that were taken with one of its research satellites.....

Having long played the part of a utility that allowed users fast access to places near and far, MapQuest now seems to be taking a cue from Google’s 2007 launch of MyMaps and is making things a little more personal for regular visitors.

Just a few months ago, when Google launched its "Lively" 3D chat offering, I questioned Google's strategy, as it didn't seem to offer anything different or compelling.

Some people here disagreed, and believed Google would be able to turn the service into something compelling, but that appears not to be.

Since the launch, to be honest, I can't recall ever hearing about Lively again -- and had pretty much forgotten it existed.

In other words, the District of Columbia has made its data “Mashable”.

Hurricane Paloma made landfall in southern Cuba this weekend, bringing 120 mph winds and heavy rain.

Where can you turn for the latest updates on the storm? The web, of course.
