Google Moon A Success

We mentioned Google Moon earlier. Scobleizer: Microsoft Geek Blogger blogged What happens when you have a company that people love and trust and that demonstrates a good sense of humor? Google showed yesterday with its "moon" site -- getting more good PR than I've seen any company get in a long time. Bloglines: 1,990 links. Technorati: 1,335 links. Feedster: 69 links. Blogpulse: 1,140 messages. Blogdigger: 64 links. Clusty: 3 links.

Google had EVERYONE talking about this site yesterday. Well done! The official Google blog was how they got the word out.

Now that the moon has been mapped, can we get back to earth?

Speaking of which, here's the top mapping services: Google Maps. Mappoint/MSN Maps. Yahoo maps. Mapquest (also owned by Yahoo).

My favorite right now? Google Maps. Hands down. Not even close. But, yes, the Virtual Earth team has made some awfully interesting promises. Google has set the high-water PR bar. I wonder if Virtual Earth can deliver?

Anyone doing a comparison of the map services?
