Whilst it’s still fresh in my mind, here are a bunch of notes I collaborated on using SubEthaEdit at today’s Carson Systems hosted The Future of Web Apps summit held in London today.

• Joshua Schachter – Delicious – Things We’ve Learned
• Cal Henderson – Building Flickr
• Tom Coates – Designing Web 2.0-native Products for Fun and Profit

Further and more detailed notes from these and the later afternoon sessions are available at Steve Marshall’s site.

Google appeared to have quietly launched a beta of their groundbreaking maps service for the UK, with most of the features of it’s US counterpart intact (with the notable exception of detailed satellite maps).

So now, you can find your way to your favourite football team, check out local pubs and of course, most importantly discover how to make your way from one end of the country to another.

To coincide, with this, it appears that the UK native version of Google’s Local search has also arrived in beta form with results provided by Yell.com.

Update: Looks like myGMaps.com works perfectly well with the UK version too for creating your own custom maps. Neat.
