The map uses Silverlight 3 by default, but the nice part about it is this: If you don’t have Silverlight installed, the map falls back to plain Javascript, which is recognized by all web browsers.  I took Microsoft up on their offer and plugged my Twitter feed into their maps.  The code is super easy to implement and add to your own site.

This demo shows my Twitter feed and Bing maps.

How about you?

I’d love to hear from you if you are using the Bing maps API; go ahead and post your links in the comments section.
