We’ve been hinting for a while about a secret project that we’re working on, and today I’m pleased to be able to take the wraps off Mapumental . It’s currently in Private Beta but invites are starting to flow out.

In its first iteration it’s specially tuned to help you work out where else you might live if you want an easy commute to work.
