Mappeo.net – G-Maps Meets YouTube

Mappeo.netThe number of Google-maps mashups being developed these days seems ridiculous; who knew mapping would become so popular? But then again, there are some interesting results, like Mappeo. This site is an entertaining combo of cartography and Youtube videos.

You can geo-locate videos on the map or using the search bar and filter by keywords. For example, you could try Scrubs + France, and find a rather amusing French-dubbed ep of the popular medical comedy. Some videos really have nothing to with location; for instance, videos of small pets crawling into things seems to have international appeal. While it doesn’t appear to have a user submit function, you’ll no doubt get a few chuckles from the offerings on site.
