South of Market Bars and Clubs

A driving/walking route of many popular SOMA bars and clubs: http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?hl=en&gl=us&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=107304162555439024463.0004861b12802d042f03e&ll=37.777838,-122.408638&spn=0.016349,0.026093&z=15&iwloc=0004862a4cb4217a60e97

Using Google Maps seemed a little difficult and unfamiliar at first, but once I worked with the program for about half and hour I started to pick up just how easy it was; the video was definitely helpful. The potential here is that any organization or individual can create a map easily using this application and make it simple for anybody to find them. If I were to improve upon it’s design, I would make it so one could change some of the finer points like the font type, colors and maybe even a 3-D mode. Another possible idea would to combine this with a timeline, like the one on Dipity, to explain past, present and future events with much greater detail.
