I had some free hours this nice Sunday afternoon so I did a simple comment page using Geode and XMPP to test how Geode and Google Maps works.

If you have Geode and Strophe compatible browser, you can drop a message to the "comment service" at http://www.lobstermonster.org/cheers . Your message is then displayed on the map at the page.

Since XMPP is used as transport protocol you can see comments by other users on the page at "real time". Buddycloud.org users can send messages to this service directly using their clients. You can see messages on the page of course even you do not have Geode compatible browser. Browser needs to be Strophe compatible then.

It's quite fun actually when zooming a bit and just to follow the messages send around the world.

As before, if anyone is interested about the source or how it's done in lower level, I'm happy to share the code and answer any questions.
