Looks cool. It’s beta, of course. Nice, clean Googlesque interface; interactive maps let you click and center and whatnot, but without loading a new page with every click; search, while somewhat buggy(?) knows to center on what you’re looking at on the map; gives you address/phone number/directions/website(!). Oh, and it makes it easy to link to a given map too. If you click on Local Search it even says “Where e.g., Poughkeepsie, NY,” but that could just be hardcoded in. Now if only it did satellite coverage too….

Tracking Google Juice
Related to the GoDaddy Super Bowl thing, you can track how the whole fiasco is affecting GoDaddy’s search results on Google and MSN Search. At least it saved them $2.4 million. Though opinion reports vary, some say it was the best ad, and others say it was worst.
Update: Somewhat unrelated, but you might as well check out how Google News is covering the spot.
