Yahoo Maps API ★: Yahoo-vs.-Google is really turning into an epic rivalry.
Brent Simmons on iTunes Podcasting Support ★: He still sees reasons to continue improving the podcasting support in NetNewsWire, and I think he’s right. For example, some feeds only include podcast enclosures occasionally, not in every entry — feeds like that are better dealt with in a general-purpose aggregator.
Google Maps API ★: Screen-scraping hacks are no longer necessary. Documentation looks good, too.
Andy Baio on Yahoo’s ‘My Web 2.0’ ★: ‘My Web 2.0’ is Yahoo’s new Del.icio.us-style shared bookmark app. (What a terrible name, though; the “2.0” isn’t the version number, it’s part of the name itself.) Andy Baio has been beta-testing and has a nice overview, including a few links to other reviews.
Camino 0.9 Alpha Mini-Review ★: Jon Hicks with a brief look at the latest Camino builds. I agree that it’s a very attractive app, and it does seem to load and render pages faster than any other Mac OS X browser.
