Story 1: Embeddable Google Maps soon

Macworld.co.uk Reports...: Google has confirmed that the new Google Maps embedded mapping feature described below will be available next week. The new feature, will allow you to drop a fully-functioning Google map into your blog or web page just as easily as dropping in a YouTube video.

Google spokeswoman Megan Quinn wrote "Next week we will be releasing a new feature on Google Maps that enables users to add a map to their website or blog just by copying and pasting a snippet of HTML. This new functionality will enable Google Maps users to share maps in the same way that YouTube users share videos."

Earlier, Google execs in Australia said the new feature was coming soon.

To embed a Google Map, you pull up the map you want to embed - it can be a location, a business, series of driving directions, or a My Map you've created - and then click "Link to this page" and copy and paste the HTML into your website or blog. The embedded map will be fully interactive - you can drag and click or zoom in on a location, and view it in map, satellite, and hybrid modes, Google says.

Previously you had to either cut-and-paste a map into your site, which makes it a frozen, non-functioning image, or you could use the Google Maps application programming interface (API), but that's pretty hard to do unless you happen to be a computer programmer.

Now that embedding Google maps will be much easier, they're likely to start showing up everywhere online. For example, a small business could plant a map on its website, and prospective customers could use it to generate driving directions to the business.

Story 2: Skype 2.7 for Mac beta ships

The new version of Skype introduces a range of features to the popular VOIP software: group contacts, Address Book support and more. Group contacts enables users to organize contacts into as many groups as required, which should help keep large lists organised.

Skype 2.7 for Mac also lets users see their Apple Address Book contacts in Skype, allowing them to call or SMS anyone who has a phone number in their address-book profile. Users can also create and manage public chats by clicking on Chats in the menu bar and use the new Auto Redial facililty.
