Yahoo! Maps Beta
So this must be the thinking at Yahoo! Maps:
"Clearly Google made us look like idiots by coming up with this awesome UI for their mapping engine. It's clean, simple, nicely animated, and even lets you see satellite and hybrid views. Let's see if we can make something that is vaguely similar, but a lot shittier."
Welcome to Yahoo! Maps Beta. It's slow, the interface is confusing, the graphics aren't particularly nice, and you feel as though you never quite know what's going on. From the fact that you have to wait while it initially loads, to the insane cursor when I mouse over the address field, this site is sure to complement Yahoo!'s existing reputation as the site that was almost as good as Google, but sucked instead.
