Screw Revenue, I'm going to have Fun!

I started MovieLandmarks about a year ago as a fun project. I started and stopped a few times, but have not been able to let go of the idea. There are other attempts at similar projects but none do what I want them to. I convinced myself that if I was making some money from it that I'd work on it more. So I got sidetracked into trying to get Google's advertisements working on it. They don't. Basically their context sensitive ads suck.

So, I'm going to throw it all out. Or most of it. And rewrite it from scratch like I first envisioned it, as a AJAX/Web2.0/buzzword of the moment interactive application.

The next rev is still called take2, because I'm too lazy to change the domain name. You can follow the progress here at take2.movielandmarks.com

Right now I have the new cover browser up, landmarks and clusters are being displayed, floating titles for them are working (had to tweak TLabel a bit to work with the new Google data API) and you can click on things and the map zooms in on them.

Over the next (insert random() period of time), things will advance, break, advance some more. Feel free to submit suggestions -- but don't count on me implementing any of them. Right now this is my toy and I'm going to have fun with it.

Oh, and I'm probably going to stop calling it a 'search engine' at some point. Sounds a bit too full of itself now that I read it again.
