The World Places Locator (ESRI_Places_World) was updated with March 2012 GeoNames Data.

During this maintenance period, you may notice some disruption in accessing the services. Please post questions or feedback to our forum at http://forums.arcgis.com/forums/30-ArcGIS-Online.
Live on Everest – The story behind the app
There’s a nice write-up in ArcWatch magazine by ESRI Writer Susan Harp about the story behind our Live on Everest application.
If you haven’t seen the app yet, Al (@al_laframboise) and myself (@agup) built it using the ArcGIS API for Silverlight as an educational tool and cool way to aggregate all the geo-services and social media feeds related to Jordan Romero’s Everest journey.
We also presented about this project at the ESRI User Conference. You can download a PDF (5 MBs) of the presentation here.
