It's about time Google create an easy mashup tool for maps, especially since everyone else in the market seems to be doing so. About the product naming, interesting that Google would follow the 'my' trend; myYahoo, mySpace, something they have seems to stay away from. One guess is the easy widget creation appeals to the novice mySpace user and given Google's partnership with Fox Interactive, maybe they're hoping social network profile hounds will adopt Google myMaps over the other built-for-myspace map generators.
