Google introduced a new way to make its mapping service even more accurate in the US. Google Map Maker is a crowd-sourced tool where users can modify roads and structures using an approval system. If enough people agree that your correction is accurate, the changes will appear on Google Maps. In other news, T-Mobile is rolling out a service that will let you make voice calls to your Facebook friends through the social networking site. Using Facebook’s chat feature, the T-Mobile app called Bobsled will facilitate voice chat and messages internationally. T-Mobile plans to also release video chatting soon. And finally, a recent ComScore report reveals that Apple’s iOS has a user base of 37.9 million people.
