Google Maps Web 2.0 Mania

Google Maps remains an active ingredient in new sites hitting the Web 2.0 scene. Here is my latest installment of sites that seem to fit the web 2.0 bill and are making use of Google Maps..

Lovento is "Mapalistic"! - Lovento is VERY slick events site with web 2.0 characteristics oozing from it. 'Venue Maps' from the main page brings you to a list of venues for events and things to do for that city navigated through a tag cloud and of course, Google Maps! Focuses on cities in Germany, Spain and the USA. [Via ProgrammableWeb.com]

Plazes will detect your location on a Google Map then connect you with people and places near you. You can also share your "plazes" as well!
