"... a mashup of Virtual Earth, and various web services (including Amazon, Weather.com, Flickr, Feedmap, GeoBloggers, GeoURL, MSN Search and MapPoint). The app brings the concept of gadgets (ala live.com) in the context of a map. Gadgets can not only consume your current view, or selected locations, and bring in interesting data about that spot, but also contribute locations of interest and allow the user to add more, thus creating an immersive mapping experience.  ..."
