Like every right-thinking person, I’m fascinated by the possibilities of AJAX, and I love Google Maps, and all the wonderful Google Map Hacks that spring therefrom.

A couple of interesting hacks are:
MyConcertDates, in which you can type a date, and get back a (nicely color coded) Google Map of concerts in the USA.
EVMapper takes in keywords and dates locations, and gives you events on a Google Map.

Of course, these two really should be combined. But what would be even more interesting is a tool which scanned the ID3 tags of MP3 files on your computer, giving you a multi-selectable list of artists whose show you might like to see.

This way, you could get the answer to “is there anything on (in this area and time frame) that would interest me”, without having to remember what things interest you. Perfect for those of us with broad interests and/or dysfunctional memories.

What were we talking about, again?
