GeoBriefs: Map Madness, Scribble Maps

Here are a couple of fun applications.

In time for March Madness, ESPN has launched Map Madness.  The challenge is to pinpoint the location of all the schools based on questions that pop up.  You have ten seconds to mark your location.  The quicker you answer, the more points you get.  In order to move on to the next rounds you have to score high enough.  Top scorers are listed on the page.

Scribble Maps is a fun way to annotate and share Google Maps.  Zoom in to your desire geographic extent, then mark up your map with scribbles, text, and imagery.  Saved maps can then be shared in a variety of ways: KML, emailed, Facebook, and more.
