I just made some improvements to the eBay Google Mashup. When changing the country in the form it will reset categories and postal codes. This is done to prevent the eBay API from complaining about unvalid postal codes and categories.

I just finished a new mash up. It does not look very spectacular but it is pretty cool. I download the latest New York Times Sunday Book Review and lookup the Asin-codes on Amazon. I cache the result in order not to violate Amazon Api rules.

Hostip.info changed their url for ip geo look ups which resulted in no data being returned my site. This bug has been fixed.

I could not resist to create pan and zoom controls for my MSN Virtal Earth Mashup. They are almost identical to the Google’s GSmallMapControl().
