Google Maps Bugs Persists

I mentioned earlier of a bug that results in Starbucks missing from my Google Maps search.

Today, Google mentions a "Drag 'n' Zoom" feature that isn't there. Why is my account all whacked?

My dear colleagues,

I have accepted a position within the field of User Experience (UX) in the Tribune Company family. Beginning Monday, June 20th, you will find me on LL2 working for the Tribune UX team.

It is with sadness that I announce my departure from Zap2it and TMS, effective Friday, June 17th. You have been my family for over 10 years, and we’ve shared many successes along the way. I have been fortunate to be given many opportunities at Zap2it: from Jeff Rowe and Barbara Needleman believing in a student fresh out of college to lead operations, to Rebecca Baldwin and Jay Fehnel believing in an operations manager to lead major Zap2it projects, and everyone between. Beyond technical and leadership skills, you gave me lessons in business and in life.

You need not travel far before our paths cross. As part of the Tribune UX team, one of my projects is Zap2it. So it is with happiness that I remain within the Tribune Company family.

Regards,

Andre Alforque

Thanks to my sister, Audrey, for the proofing.
