Don’t ask me what I think about your online GIS *after* you bought it
I am such a friendly guy. Well-respected, too, apparently. A lot of people know me and value my opinion and expertise. Decision-makers, with budgets.
So it comes as no surprise that every once in a while people ask me GIS-related questions. Such as: “Hey, we just launched our online GIS. What do you think?” Or: “Hey, we just had our tax maps digitized, what should we do with them?”
It is nice to have one’s opinion so highly valued, but it is an honour that I dream not of (to quote Juliet). I would much rather folks call me *before* they go on a GIS services shopping spree. It would then make sense to point out that launching an online GIS that only works in Internet Explorer in 2010 is asinine, no matter how good the deal. No point mentioning this now.

So what do you think of ScribbleMaps.com and Pro.ScribbleMaps.com? Sorry, couldn't resist.

Ha! Well placed.
I think it is way cooler than many of the "professional" online apps people pay a lot of money for. One oddity I could not understand -- zoom-in on double-click does not work (in Chrome), even though it does in Google Maps. Why is that?
