WebORB Google Maps Chat Demo

I've been talking with Joe Orbman from WebORB and he demonstrated his Google Maps chat with me last week. He asked me not to blog about it until he published the final release....so here it is:

It's a cool concept because upon posting your message a DNS lookup is made that pinpoints your location and displays it on the map. I would highly recommend checking out the "SHARE MAP WITH SELECTED CLIENT" feature as it demonstrates the power of WebORB and push technology. One note to Joe, MAKE THE KILLER SHARING FUNCTIONALITY STAND OUT MORE BECAUSE IT'S HARD TO SEE!

If you're not familiar with WebORB I definitely recommend looking into it. It's definitely the only product of it's kind. It's the only product I know of that works with both AJAX and Flash clients and has built-in support for Flash Remoting.
