Google Maps has just added a new feature called, Hybrid. This new feature addes all the outlines, Cities, and Street names just like the original Map method. Small screenshot of the feature is below:

I think this is pretty cool and definitely a good addition to Google Maps. Now when I am looking at the satellite images, I will now know where I am!

Just a quick note that Virb, a new social network that’s got me excited, has launched today. I was accepted into the private beta a couple months ago and its really come a long way. It’s beautifully designed, has great iTunes integration, and has got a little bit of everything in there. Perhaps what I like most is how customizable the profiles are. Be sure to check it out!

swfIR is a new Flash replacement technique that replaces and adds visual effects to images on the fly using simple JavaScript. It’s similar to the the popular Flash text replacement technique, sIFR. You can, without physically editing an image, set borders, shadows, alpha transparencies, blurring, rotation and more to any image on your website. Pretty neat! (via Mike Davidson)
