I must have missed the roll-out of this feature, so I may as well mention it here.
Google Maps has a new major mode: "More" (next to Street View and Traffic.)
Under "More" I now find "Photos" and "Wikipedia."
This shows that North Beach in San Francisco is perhaps overrepresented in photography, and underrepresented in Wikipedia.
The Google Maps plus Wikipedia feature may be defective or incomplete. For example, I find it very difficult to believe that Fog City Diner has a wikipedia entry while City Lights Bookstore does not. See for yourself, then weep for the forgotten poets.
Google Maps does show a Wikipedia article on "Jack Kerouac Alley" but that does not address my point about City Lights Bookstore. City Lights does have a Wikipedia entry of course, but Google Maps fails to make the connection.
The situation seems to be improving.
Oh Googley One, is there nothing you can't do marginally well?
The only message I get from this ad on my own blog is that Google thinks I'm too good for Vox!
But, Vox is selling Google the ad on my blog telling me I should be making money with my blog. Do you see my confusion? Does one lobe clapping in the forest make a sound?
Amusingly enough, I've concluded that this advertisement is the "fallback" ad provided when Google is unable to figure out how to monetize on your content. Perhaps it is half-way between "your message here" and "learn how to help us monetize, you silly blogger."
Esta es la razón deben ofrecernos cambiage de lengua "default" como HTML attibuyos simples, en la "compose widget" sin embargo.
