So, it’s World IPv6 Day^W^W^WIPv6 Launch Day (rebranding lulz). Go test your IPv6 at some appropriate site like here (hosted in South Africa) or here (somewhere else than South Africa, I didn’t check).

Google also had some conference announcement about the next stage in Maps. I wonder if it’s this thing I saw on Google Maps last night: Mapmaker. It appears to be 4sq meets Waze meets .. something. Let’s see at 9am PST.

Update: here’s a screenshot.

Second update: (fuck you WordPress editor) apparently Mapmaker’s been live since mid-April. Talk about a quiet launch.
