MAPalicious
So, a few weeks ago, I had some old friends visiting from NYC the same week that five clients were demanding a pile of deliverables. No time to play for me, but I really wanted my friends to enjoy their stay here. So, I used this nifty new web site leveraging the Google Maps API to create a custom map of Santa Cruz area with all of my favorite things to do.

My guests ended up visiting over half the places I marked on the map, and had a great time. The Wayfaring site interface itself was well designed, easy and fun to use.
End of happy web 2.0 services story.

Whee, it's fun:
