It's a nice interface. Not sure how you make money off it. I'm not saying it's not cool in a vacuum. I am just saying, "You guys are super talented. This particular application seems a waste of your talent in terms of solving world hunger or other big problems." Sorry, I calls em as I sees em. It’s a nice interface.

Not a shortcoming on their part. It's not what their service is meant to do. Atlas provides many features above and beyond, including: events search, lowest gas price search, package tracking, wifi hotspot locator, movie showtimes... not to mention a GPS tracking API, Twitter feeds, Flickr integration... the list goes on. Too bad you don't get it. At least we're not the only ones who like it: http://scobleizer.com/2006/01/10/cool-virtual-earth-mashup/ @Glen: Agree with you that http://local.live.com is a great site, but last time I checked they don’t have near the specialized list of features Atlas provides.

I just don't get it. It's pretty and all, but why not just use http://local.live.com. I don't see the added benefit. It sort of feels like you are building stuff because you can, but not because of a huge demand from the market. You guys have oodles of talent that is visible from your work, but the products themselves just don't seem breakthrough to me. Sorry. Folders has potential, but execution (as stated above) needs work. Atlas seems to be a visual "theme" on Microsoft's site. I hate it when I am the bearer of bad news. @shawn: I took a look at it.

Good thoughts! We have some work to do on "Folders" before it's as nice as our Web 2.0 mapping application called "Atlas". You should give that one a review; we just did a bunch of enhancements...

I'd be happy to be paid to do a private review, but truthfully, I just do it for the fun of it. The reviews on this blog are purely for the love of UX. That way I feel I can say whatever I want.

At the very least, you'll need to carefully delineate blog content that you're paid to create versus content that you create for free or risk falling afoul of Google's "no paid links" rubric. See: http://searchengineland.com/071007-173841.php and many others for some details on how to do it without messing up your Google juice.
