What's all this about?

Exactly what it says on the tin:

"See YouTube search results on a Google Map"

(Also, it's a fun way to expand my portfolio and look for a job.)

It looks a LOT like Google Maps!

It does, no offense meant =)

The truth is that I love the Google Maps interface and I wanted to dig deep in Google's code: I learnt some tricks along the way and used some of mine to power all this up.

Why did you do this?

Seemed like no-one had done it before. And I mostly did it for fun.

For...fun?

Heh, I'm a coder.

Magnets, how do they work?

This server runs on a node.js instance powered by DotCloud while the database is a MongoDB instance powered by MongoLabs.

Any other geeky stuff?

Just for fun, all the CSS and the javascript (mostly minified by hand) are included in the HTML. Same goes for the pictures which are base64'ed into the CSS. Just for the fun of serving this whole site in one pass.

(Don't send technical arguments and hate mail, I know the pros and cons of doing this, I am only doing this for FUN.)

Hate mail? How do we harass you? Or HIRE you?
