Hi Stephen- I'm trying it out now, and am unable to find results in that zip code. It would be nice if I could say "show all jobs" or treat the jobs list as a select-one-or-many UI. It'd also be cool if I could draw a polygon to specify the area I'm interested in.
It looks real snazzy from the screenshots. - pamela On Thu, Jan 21, 2010 at 1:49 PM, Stephen <[email protected]> wrote: > I'd be interested in receiving feedback on my new app that I've built > using the Flash Google Maps API: > > http://www.TalentMap.jobs/ > > Currently this app focuses on the Philadelphia region.
