MapBlast! was a web mapping service launched in the mid-1990s by Vicinity Corporation. It allowed website owners to incorporate maps in their own web pages, and was later syndicated across most major Web, wireless, handheld and interactive TV platforms including Yahoo!, Excite, Lycos, ATT Interactive and Palm, among others. By 2000, MapBlast was the #2 mapping site on the Web in terms of traffic having undergone a major redesign that was praised by the Wall Street Journal, PC Week and other leading publications. The team responsible for this redesign was led by David Cherner, Tad Goltra, Jerry Halstead, Eric Gottesman, Chris Golier, Matti Katajamaki, Julian Yang, Joe Como, Jun Boo, Dana Liu, Garner Moss, Tim Anderson, Adam Reek and Garner Moss.
