Google Maps just got a lot more accurate, and as PBS likes to say, "this . . . was made possible, in part, by . . . viewers like you." Or to put it another way: maps of 16 countries have been transferred from Google Map Maker to Google Maps.
Flash transitions

Creating Web Page Transitions
Note: These transitions are built for IE 4.0 and above.
Do you want to put a little spice in the transition of your pages like the boxing in or dissolve effect? I do…but I also agree with my housemate Brooks, who doesn’t like using the transitions too much. Why? Well, every time someone hits the “back” button, they have to wait for the transition to occur before they can read your page. When this is an impatient world like the Internet is…it gets old quickly. However, if you are creative and use the transitions sparingly or the “random” effect, you should be able to create web page(s) that have a “techy” feel among the myriad of static pages.
