I find Here.com to be better than Google Maps FWIW. Outlook.com to be better than Gmail.

It's weird because product-for-product, Google has great web services but their issue is that so much of the UI is dedicated to advertising that it makes the overall experience worse. Here.com is owned by Nokia but there is no indication of that apart from a tiny copyright notice in the bottom left of the page.

I've love to try Here.com, however their home page isn't even rendering properly right now. They are serving a completely unstyled page that has totally broken their maps component. I can't even see a map on the page.. There is no style, and apparently no behavior attached to a white page with black text.

Is the internet trying to teach us a timely lesson with this broken site? :p (semi-tongue-in-cheek)

Hilarious, I was just using it before my previous post, continuous deployment fail?
looks to be back up :)
