Real-Time Planes & Ships on Google Map:
This amazing Spanish Google Map seems to have set itself the task of tracking in real-time just about anything that moves (http://www.localizatodo.com/mapa/)
The Indiana Jones Map Effect:
"Do you remember the travel/flight sequences in the Indiana Jones movies?
Hacks.mozilla.org remember them so fondly that they decided to recreate the effect with Google Maps and a YouTube video. The result is pretty awesome as you can see in the video above or see for yourself on the demo page."
Pacman on Google Maps:
"PacMap is an application that turns your neighborhood into a real-life Pac-Man game.
PacMap overlays yellow pac-dots on top of a Google Map of your location. Your goal is to walk your neighborhood gobbling up the dots whilst avoiding the familiar Pac-Man enemies.

People Search on Google Maps:
"Spokeo is a people centred search engine that lets you search for information about people by name and location.
If you enter someone's name into the Spokeo search engine the results are returned on a Google Map. The results are clustered on the map and organised in the map sidebar by state. " (http://www.spokeo.com/)
Google Earth Flight Simulator:
"GE Flight Simulator is a very realistic flight simulation game that uses the Google Earth plugin.
Using the simulation you can fly anywhere in the world. The simulation uses Google Maps to display and help you navigate to over 30,000 airports around the world. To view the map in flight just click the "show map" button in the option bar." "You can also view the map of the 30,000 airports on its own here."

Instant Street View Postcards:
"This handy Google Maps application is just what you need if you want to share the Street View image of a location with your friends."(http://showmystreet.com/)
10 Great Car Journeys in Street View:
"This week the Jalopnik website used TripGeo to create an animated Street View drive of the Dalton Highway in Alaska.
TripGeo is a great widget that lets you create embeddable animated Street View journeys anywhere that Google Maps has Street View coverage. Inspired by Jalopnik, here are my ten favourite Street View journeys animated by TripGeo:
Dalton Highway, Alaska
Transfagarasan Highway
The Transfăgărăşan is the most dramatic and second-highest paved road in Romania. The 90 km of twists and turns run north to south across the tallest sections of the Southern Carpathians, between the highest peak in the country, Moldoveanu, and the second highest, Negoiu.
Chapmans Peak, South Africa
Chateau d'Eox , Switzerland
Kirkstone Pass, UK
Kirkstone Pass is a mountain pass in the English Lake District, in the county of Cumbria. This is the Lake District's highest pass that is open to motor traffic.
Millau Viaduct, France
The Millau Viaduct is a cable-stayed road-bridge that spans the valley of the river Tarn near Millau in southern France. It is the tallest bridge in the world,
Highway 1, California
Lake Como, Italy
Øresund Bridge, Denmark to Sweden
The Øresund Bridge connects Sweden and Denmark, and it is the longest road and rail bridge in Europe.
Stuart Highway, Australia
The Stuart Highway is one of Australia's major highways. It is the principal north-south route through the central interior of mainland Australia and is often referred to simply as "The Track"."
Create a Google Map in 60 Seconds:
"Mapbiquity is a Google Maps based creation tool that can help you create a Google Map for your website." (http://www.mapbiquity.com/)
And finally something that`s not from Google Maps but from Google Body Browser, that`s right, here it is:
Mapping the Human Body:
"After Google has mapped the Earth, the moon and the night sky it seems that the only thing left was the human body. Google Labs have just released the Google Body Browser that lets you explore the body."(http://bodybrowser.googlelabs.com/index.html)

url of imageHere are some interesting ideas for Facebook users:
Send videos:
Of course that you can already send videos but this tool it`s easier to use, and you can upload videos from your cellphone or your webcam, just use the url adress that it provides, it also works with Twitter.
Create a distinct group of people to chat with:Sometimes you have so many people, some of witch you don`t want to really talk to, here`s a Facebook application that you can use, just go to the site and create a list of friends, family etc..., and then "Edit" the list and chooose the "Friends" you want on that list, "Save" it and then it only shows the name and image of the people that`s online and the you have chosen.
url of the imageFacebook new email:
If you want the new Facebook application of email, that it`s actually email and not just the messages, i advice you to request an invitation, i`m on the list =) It`s all the Facebook features and it`s an email, it`s a deadly competition to Gmail and Hotmail.
url of the imageAntivirus for Facebook account:
During the last times the site as been hacked, so here`s a special antivirus for you, you log in your Facebook account, then go to the adress and click on the "Oki-dokey! Let`s see the App", allow that the "Bitdefender Safego" access your basic information, in the next image click on the "Double check" botton and wait for the result of the scan on your items.
url of the imageFacebook photos with high quality:
Now you can upload and download the photos on your album, or your friends album, with high quality, you just have to choose that option when you`re ready to upload a photo to your album, and when someone is going to download it, it can see that same option, to download that same image with the same quality that you have uploaded it, on the right side of the screen, on the bottom, as for the address you all now it: http://www.facebook.com/
And by the way, if you are one of those kind of people, like i was, that as a lot of applications connected with your Facebook account, don`t forget, that`s a risk for your privacy, so time to time go to your "Account", "Privacy", "Applications" and "Edit" the permission of some of those sites, or don`t tell me that you still use the same application of two years ago?
I hope this as helped you somehow, any question just ask, i`m no expert but i know some things...

In request of many people i have returned to this blog and in English...
I`m going to write about the various types of multimedia files, the "MP3", "WMA", "OGG", "AAC", "WAV", "FLAC", and also about the a way to switch them from their original gender to another format.
MP3
It´s the theme that`s usually used for MPEG-1 Audio Layer3, witch is a way to codify the audio. It may not have the best quality but it allows you tho keep a large number of files into one small device that doesn`t have much space in it.
This process is made by reducing the sounds that most people can`t ear, therefore the size of the file can be smaller than the original one, usually it`s 10% smaller.
The speed of bits more usual for an MP3 file it`s 128Kb/s.
WMA
The WMA (Windows Media Auto) was developt by Microsoft because of he rise of MP3 files, the new versions of the codec support audio multichannel, in contrary of the MP3. The WMA Voice it`s a special version of the low speed of bits from the codec used for the reproduction of voice only, and because of that the files are smaller in size, therefore easier to put in any portable device with a piece of space.
OGG
This format it`s usually used for the compression mode of Vorbis.com, these files are called OGG Vorbis or .ogg files.
This format also loses some quality in the sounds but in contrary of the MP3 files it`s an open source software, witch is kept by a foundation without any profit, Xiph.Org.
People that use this format are defenders of the open source software.
AAC
The Advanced Audio Coding (ACC) was developt to be the successor of the MP3 files, it also loses some quality but offers a better quality than the MP3 files with same speed of bits.
This format is used by the iTunes, iPhone and iPod, and Sony also uses it on the Playstation3.
WMA
WAV or WAVE it`s the short name for the audio in form of wave, it was created by Microsoft and IBM in the beginning of the 90´s and it`s the format used by the non compress audio fles of the windows program.
Aldo it`s possible to keep a compressed file in a WAV file it`s not a good option because the files use a lot of space, and because of this it`s not, usually, used to keep, store and distribute but as a way to create, edit and mix audio files.
FLAC
Free Losiess Audio Codec (FLAC) allows to compress a file without losing any quality, in theory it`s exactly the same as the original file.
It`s am open source software witch allows many equipments to support it, and if you like your audio files up to 50%-60% smaller in space and the same in quality, this is your choice.
Resume:
The Mp3 it`s the most used format with most users, the WMA allows various choices, the ACC it`s most efficient and used by the iTunes and the FLAC doesn`t have any loses in the quality of sound when compressing it.
How to convert an audio file:
You can use the Media Coder Audio Edition, www.mediacoderhq.com/.
It`s a smaller version of the Media Coder, that also allows to process video formats, it`s possible in the speeds of 36 and 64 bits.
Another option it`s the Super v2010.
