Collaborative Google Maps

I have been creating a Google Map for my recent trip to Tuscany (still in its infancy), and while doing so I realized that Google’s My Maps now has a collaborate feature that allows you to add other users to the Map to help build it. This was a long time coming in my opinion, but glad to see it has arrived.

I was also pleased to find that they are now including an embed link using an iframe. Google is pretty good about following the Web 2.0 golden rule: make it easy to re-use. And an embed link is often the best solution.
