What will Google do?

From LostRemote and, without apology, re-posted in its entirety (emphasis added).

Google Maps is coming out with a feature that will allow people to embed a map onto their blogs with just a snippet of code. You’ll be able to pull up whatever map you want in Google Maps, and then you’ll have the ability to get the “embed code” the same way you can embed a YouTube video. The map won’t be a static picture - it will still have the usual functions of a Google Map. Every site needs to realize this is what they should be doing: distributed information is what it’s all about. Make it easy for blogs and sites to embed your stuff and you will have instant syndication.
