Mapmyname is a truly pointless website
Service May 18th, 2007
The mapmyname project is website in which users of the internet may type in their name and where they live, and they are plotted on a map. While this may sound stupid at first, it is actually pointless as well. Like a.placebetween.us, Google Maps takes up 99999.99% of the page- the only page. Their blog only shows one post on the frontpage, and it’s still running on the default wordpress theme. The idea is pointless, the community is non-existent, and it was probably written from a Google Maps API tutorial.
Atleast a.placebetween.us offered a service that some people would find useful.

A Google Maps API tutorial? lolololol
Oh my God! Are you insane?
It’s the quickest Google Maps API based website I know. All Ajax based!

Another thing, since you’re so critical, how about taking care of your own stuff? Like your media link on this Blog that shows a “Error 404 - Not Found”.

You do realize you’re ridiculous.
“I can make it. This has got to be the simplest startup to write. I can do this in a day in PHP and MySQL.”
You can make tweeter? With PHP and MySQL? lol How about the client side? Have you ever heard about Javascript and XML HTPPRequest?
Go study before saying stuff like this, you should be ashamed. If you can build a tweeter in a day, I’d like to order you an engine just like theirs lolol.
Talk to them, maybe they’ll give you a job lolol
Stop saying stupid stuff about other websites before understanding the techonologies behind.

uhhh..yes
You’re trying to point out that it uses AJAX right? That’s not hard at all, I can do AJAX.
I just logged into their system and posted something, and let me tell you- it is some simple AJAX.
By the way, the function is XMLHttpRequest();
