The webapp
This is a brand new web app that allows you to set your location and find the Pokemon near you! It uses Niantic API's so it's quit accurate.
So go hunt these pokemons:
Confirmation
Rumors say that it only works in USA, but I tried it in Oslo, Norway!
I can verify that it works! I opened up the app, looked at the nearby grid, then there was a Cubone nearby.
I ran over to the Cubone location based on the pokevision location, and POW, the Cubone popped up in my Pokemon map. I caught it!
Disclaimer
I am not the creator of this webapp, but I thought that this community should see this awesome new app!
pokemonGO = Google & Go

That fact has been complained about and has been fixed from Niantic's side. They now ask for a lot less permissions. Now it's basically the same as all other services using Google to sign in. But yeah, they might have a cooporation, but in the end, we will get a better map service! I wrote earlier that Niantic is actually an internal startup from Google, so they probably had some bigger thoughts about what to achieve from Ingress and now this app. I wrote it here: https://steemit.com/pokemon-go/@vongohren/how-pokemon-go-became-so-popular

It still has plenty of fuel to burn. Once a majority of the players hit level 20+ they will be more likely to pay to level faster ( lucky eggs and incubators and such)

I wrote up a post with my thoughts on why. It was written fast but I believe it has some validity: https://steemit.com/pokemon-go/@vongohren/how-pokemon-go-became-so-popular

it's working now, it is a disclaimer saying "The Pokémon Go servers are currently unstable or offline. Scanning will take longer than expected, or fail entirely until the service is restored." maybe that s why it didn't work for the first time
