I do really like the ajax suggestions for street addresses. The community features are a bit light on at the moment but I'm sure you've got more in the pipeline. I don't have a problem with following the leader with regards to the technology - but if you're going to rip off the graphic look and feel then do something a bit bloody different (more than what you've pointed out). Hey how about hiring a designer and get them to differentiate your look and feel a bit? At the moment it looks like a hodgepodge of images taken wholesale from google/flickr/frappr/whatever-the-current-2.0-buzz-site-is good luck to you anyway!

Although we have some visual cues the same as google, we have a lot that is different. First, we use an ajax suggest to help people find addresses. Second we have human friendly URL system for every address eg. http://www.zoomin.com.au/australia/act/canberra/reid/allambee+street/10/ and third, you can add your own content ie. places, comments and photos to Zoomin maps. Our focus is to provide a quality map site for the community. John Clegg ZoomIn Australia Thanks for your feedback.
