When Web 2.0 (Yahoo Maps) attacks
Yahoo Maps drives Molly batty
I don't love that they've made the whole thing all big and clunky and more like the new interface, because I'm sure that it's just an attempt to get me to switch by introducing me, slowly, to parts of the interface. It's the boiling-a-frog approach. But wow. Yeah, I'm really enticed by your fancy new Web 2.0 interface. Especially the part where my saved and recently used addresses pop up all Ajax-awesome underneath your ad. Note: I'm using Firefox, where Yahoo tools have a history of not working properly--which is, of course, even greater incentive to switch to Google. I know, I know, I work at CNET, and I shouldn't cast a lot of stones about interfaces and the like. But seriously, Yahoo. You don't have a lot of edge on Google these days, and free, beloved services like maps and e-mail (and fantasy football) are kind of your only foothold right now. Don't screw 'em up.
