Bing Maps

Our supercool Seattle friend Blaise Aguera y Arcas is in charge of Microsoft's new Bing maps, using Blaise's "Sea Dragon" and "Photosynth" inventions.

Here are stories about this in the Wall St. Journal and Seattle P-I.

I've posted about Blaise's genius before - like in this lecture to the TED audience a few years ago. Microsoft, which bought Blaise's company and Sea Dragon a few years ago, is smart enough to put Blaise in charge of more and more of its real estate.

Congratulations, Blaise!
