[You, too, can jack up Google Maps]
All we can say is that Google has a hell of a lot more faith in humanity than we do: Google Maps has gone Wiki, now permitting anyone in the U.S., New Zealand, and Australia to edit, add, and delete places on the map. Would-be anarchist geographers, stand down— Google has already installed a set of checks and balances into the new app add-on. Having taken a note or two from the Wikipedia wars, Google lists each location's original site beneath its address, followed by its editorial history. And here we dreamed of re-arranging San Francisco according to our own imaginary boundaries, thus rendering the MLS nabe maps totally inaccurate. (Insert diabolic laughter here.)
