Yesterday, I attended a cool presentation (below), by Pamela Fox (Google), the purpose of which was to demonstrate the power of robot scripts in Wave. The one she walked through essentially intercepted your (Wave) string, semantically parsed it for geo locations and fired off the text with embedded map links. Ironically, Yahoo’s Placemaker API was under the hood, catching locations and feeding back the structured data. Way cool service, can’t wait to play more with it.
