Foundcity Attempts a Horrible GoogleMaps API
Foundcity, a site that attempts to list favorite things to do at a metropolitan city, does a very horrible job of implementing GoogleMaps API. At best, it’s going to be a horribly designed site that no one will use.
They will really need to hire real engineers to make the site right.
Foundcity is a social mapping tool for creating a personalized map of your life on-the-fly. From your computer or cell phone, you tag locations, add photos, label them with any words you want, and plot them to your map, which you can share with friends, keep private, or publish openly.

Hey folks,
foundcity is a site that is over 3 years old now, and hasn’t been maintained in over 2 years.
>> At best, it’s going to be a horribly designed site that >>no one will use.
Actually, at best it was a site that was used by tens of thousands, and was the first site ever to allow users to make their own personal maps with Google maps. Sites like Platial and Google MyMaps have since followed suit.
Kind of old stuff now, but hardly what you make it out to be. You should do a bit of background search before you write blog posts.
