Mapping mashups - Virtual Earth and Google maps

I've used Google Maps before when building the DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper Day website after following Simon Harriyott tips on the API - it couldn't really have been any easier.

So when I saw the Microsoft Virtual Earth SDK had an interactive example guide I had a little play - having the online examples, reference code and links into the full documentation got me going quickly and before long I was plotting information via GeoRSS feeds.

Long may the competition keep Microsoft and Google improving, especially these free services.
