If only there was something like maps.google.com for OSM. Yes, there's openstreetmap.org but that doesn't have directions or location sharing. Also, if people started using it like maps.google.com, I'm sure the OSM project wouldn't be too happy, seeing as how tile serving on such a scale gets expensive fast.

That's pretty much what MapQuest Open tries to do: http://open.mapquest.com/ . Expect routing to come to osm.org within the year, too.
