Google’s first mashup goes green
Via CNET comes news that Google has launched its first mashup - a map-based Web site with information about earth-friendly locations in five of the U.S.’s top travel destinations.
According to Luanne Calvert, creative director at Google:
The site, at maps.google.com/green, features information on and video tours of spots in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York and Orlando, Fla., as well as tips for “traveling green” during the summer using Google Maps.
She further explained:
By “green” Google means “things that are earth friendly,” That includes “restaurants that are about sustainable living” and “a car service in New York that only uses (gas-electric hybrid) Prius vehicles,”
They will certainly get more and more people to use Google Maps to get around this summer.
