Google Maps Mania: Skype + Google Maps = MapMe for Skype


+ = Kevin Delaney has made a guest posting on the Skype Journal blog about an interesting new project involving the Google Maps API and the popular Internet calling app known as Skype. He writes: "MapMe for Skype is a free plugin that connects your Skype contact list with technology from Google Maps" The plugin will allow you to:
calculate distances between your contacts,
map incoming SkypeIn calls,
find users in your area and much more. Kevin is looking for 50-100 beta testers that meet the following criteria:
Use any version of Skype since 1.1
Use Windows 2000 or XP
have the Microsoft .NET Framework v1.1 (we can help you get it)
Decent technical knowledge
Live in the USA or Canada If you're interested in being a part of this closed beta test, sign up here. I'll keep Skype users updated on the status of this new KhaosLabs plugin when it becomes available.Technorati Tags: [Skype], [Google], [Google Local], [Google Maps], [GoogleMapsMania]
