Thanks for your help with my Google Maps & Amazon ECS Project


Hey all, just wanted to extend my thanks to this Group as I've been
digging through the archives for tech assistance over the last few
weeks, and have had all of my questions answered.

For those that are interested, my site is at:
http://www.blockrocker.com

Its a classifieds site, similar to Craigslist, but uses Google Maps for
primary navigation to provide locality without the need to explicitly
call out communities - i.e.: you see the classifieds that have been
posted to the area shown in the map, be it your street, neighborhood,
city, or continent. Classifieds aren't actually plotted out with
markers, so as to protect the privacy of posters, but you can zoom in
to see generally where they are (the zoomandcentre is offset from their
true coordinates by a random amount).

- BlockRocker also uses an IP localization service to start the site
off (hopefully) centered on your home town.
- You can also roll your own geography based RSS feeds using Google
maps as well.
- Posting classifieds is made faster by pulling in product data and
pictures from Amazon ECS. So far this is only for DVD's, but it will be
expanded to other product categories over time.
- Also working on an SMS implementation with ClickATell to provide
another communciation channel in addition to the anonymous email (for
sellers and buyers) and IM options currently on the site.

Anyway, there's more descriptive verbiage on the BlockRocker homepage
if you're interested.

If you've got a moment, please shoot by http://www.blockrocker.com,
have a look, and share your comments/criticisms.

Thanks and best regards,
--Rod.
